Description
Salima Sulaiman and four colleagues examine what predicts a healthy coparenting relationship after a first baby, studying new parents in Karachi, Pakistan as separate mothers and partners rather than merging their answers. How well parents coordinate childrearing shapes their own well-being, their relationship, and the child's development, and most prior work blurred the two viewpoints.
One hundred one couples recruited during pregnancy completed validated scales for anxiety, depression, relationship satisfaction, partner support, and coparenting during pregnancy and again at twelve weeks after birth. For mothers, the quality of coparenting followed her relationship satisfaction, the support she felt from her partner, and her partner's depression during pregnancy. For partners, it followed the mother's own coparenting rating, his earlier coparenting sense, his relationship satisfaction, and his later anxiety. The authors argue that support programs should engage both parents and watch each one's distinct risk factors.
