If you work with families when did you last talk to a parent about their relationship with their partner? Practitioners may be aware of the signs of domestic abuse, but what about if the issue is related to frequent/ intense and poorly resolved parental conflict? We often find it uncomfortable to ask personal questions about relationships, but there is a growing body of evidence showing the importance of the parental relationship in children’s outcomes. Whether the parents are together or separated, parental conflict can affect children’s emotional, behavioural, social and academic development. Defining the Problem: - 12% of children live in households where at least one parent reports relationship distress… this rises to 28% of children when at least one member of the household is unemployed. |
