In what ways does the quality of the marital relationship affect child rearing?

What will be an ideal response?


A complete answer would mention how close, supportive, and satisfying marital relationships are associated with sensitive and positive parenting as well as more positive attitudes and perceptions about children. Also, these couples will engage in positive co-parenting practices. In contrast, discordant marriages are associated with more disagreements over childrearing and more negative disciplinary practices. Interspousal conflict may also spill over bringing on parent-child conflict.
