Filled with interviews with new parents and observations of new parents and their babies, this major new study offers key information that clinicians, policymakers, and parents need to know about creating consistent and coordinated coparenting strategies during pregnancy and in a child’s earliest years. Author James McHale, Ph.D. explains how parents work together—or don’t—to care for infants and young children, and how the quality of their coparenting alliance affects toddlers’ social and emotional development.
