The Challenge: Strengthening the Co-Parenting Team
Mark Feinberg, a Penn State research professor in health and human development, remembers the challenges of raising young children. As a new parent, he noticed a lack of resources for parents to work together as a team. Yet, his research revealed a powerful truth: the relationship between parents has a significant influence on both parents' own well-being and a child’s.
“It’s harder to handle the frustrations of raising a child when you feel parental stress and anxiety. When parents work together, they cope better. That makes it easier to be a warm and nurturing caregiver,” he said.
At Penn State, you have opportunity for small, tight-knit communities with all the amenities of a large college—a beautiful campus and lively college town."
