How do the relationships that parents have with others, such as their spouse, extended family members, or coworkers influence the degree of parental stress experienced?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers may include:
a. Scholars differ in the types of social support they identify, but most distinguish between capacities to provide emotional support, or behavior that communicates caring, and instrumental support, or concrete assistance that reduces parents’ tasks and responsibilities (Hennon et al., 2009; Hennon et al., 2008).
b. Marital satisfaction, support outside family decreases isolation, depression
c. Support from outside family boundaries becomes especially important when parents are not married, the involvement of partners in caregiving is inadequate, or alternative significant others (e.g., older siblings) are not available (Ontai et al., 2008). Moreover, social support has the potential to affect the quality of parenting indirectly by enhancing, maintaining, or impairing the emotional well-being of mothers and fathers (Lamb, 2013).
