The Early Intervention Foundation has published a review of methods to improve inter-parental relationships and the resulting effect on child wellbeing for the Department for Work and Pensions. Key findings include: the way parents communicate and relate to each other is a primary influence on children’s long-term mental health; targeting the parent-child relationship only in the context of ongoing inter-parental conflict does not lead to sustained positive outcomes for children. |
