MANHATTAN — Texting, FaceTime and other popular communication methods among teens may help build supportive parent-1xbet sports betting relationships after a divorce, according to a Kansas State University family studies researcher.
Mindy 1xbet sports betting , associate professor and associate director for Kansas State University's School of Family Studies and Human Services; Jonathon Beckmeyer at Indiana University; and Jessica Troilo at West Virginia University recently published a study about parent-1xbet sports betting relationships after a divorce in the Journal of Family Issues.
The researchers evaluated data from nearly 400 divorced mothers and fathers with a child between 10-18 years old. They identified three types of post-divorce co-parenting relationships — cooperative, moderately engaged and conflictual — and evaluated differences in three key aspects of 1xbet sports betting well-being as well as the frequency of communication.
"Parental warmth and closeness, 1xbet sports betting ' knowledge about their kids and inconsistent discipline didn't differ among three different types of divorced co-parenting relationships," Markham said. "What did make a difference was the contact that the 1xbet sports betting had with the youth. Essentially, the more contact that 1xbet sports betting had with their kids was better regardless of the 1xbet sports betting ' relationship with each other."
These findings are contrary to a similar 2008 study, which suggested that divorced co-parenting individuals should be cooperative to maintain children's resiliency to divorce. It also is contrary to the Family Systems Theory — that the quality of a post-divorce 1xbet sports betting spills over to parent-child relationships. According to Markham, these conflicting results may be because older children are more likely to have a cellphone or tablet today and can take a more active role in the parent-child 1xbet sports betting .
"Preteens and teenagers probably have 1xbet sports betting own devices and are able to text, email or video chat with 1xbet sports betting nonresidential parent so the child can take more ownership of the relationship," Markham said. "I think frequent communication, whether it is in person or using communication technology, is really critical to making sure that the parent-child contact stays in place."
According to Markham, youth with 1xbet sports betting who are warm and supportive have been found to engage in fewer problem behaviors and experience less emotional distress. Also, 1xbet sports betting who have great knowledge of their youth's daily lives can respond well to their children's needs and create environments that promote positive youth development. Inconsistent discipline, on the other hand, can lead to youth anxiety, aggression, or threaten a child's sense of security. These three aspects together are critical for youth well-being and may help promote resiliency in youth experiencing parental divorce.
"1xbet sports betting in a conflictual or disengaged co-parenting relationship with their former spouse who were able to communicate with their child daily or weekly had higher levels of parental knowledge, which makes sense, Markham said. "Parental warmth and support also were higher among 1xbet sports betting who had more frequent contact with their child."
This finding may help divorce education programs refocus on individual parenting skills to strengthen parent-youth relationships instead of stressing cooperative parenting if they do not get along, Markham said. If a child is old enough to have their own device, 1xbet sports betting should be able to communicate directly and compartmentalize a stressful relationship with an ex-spouse so it does not negatively affect the parent-child relationship.
"If it is possible for 1xbet sports betting to cooperate, obviously that would be ideal, but there are situations where they can't and I think this research is saying you can still have a good parent-child relationship even if the relationship with your ex can't work," Markham said.
