Do you think that this research is a good example of why having people work cross-sector to create trauma-informed communities is important? If teachers knew this, do you think they'd be active in supporting perinatal classes for parents, perhaps even at school for parents of current students who are having their second, third or fourth children.
New research finds that a prenatal program aimed at enhancing couples’ co-parenting relationship helped the parents raise children who were better adjusted and ready for school at age seven.
Pennsylvania State researchers found that teachers reported significantly better adjustment and positive school engagement among children whose parents received the prenatal intervention than in the control children whose parents did not receive the training.
Study findings are reported in the Journal of Family Psychology.
