Family conflict has a profound impact on infants and young children's social-emotional and behavioral development. In work with infants and young children, it is critical to understand the ways in which conflict between coparents infiltrates the family system, creating less than optimum environments for young children. Current research suggests that children who are surrounded by family conflict lag behind in the development of social, emotional, and regulatory skills. Developing a clear understanding of the ways in which children need to be supported through solid coparental relationships is essential because young children's sense of safety and security enables them to optimize their developmental capacities. This report and analysis of supports for coparenting also reviews the literature on the effects of coparental conflict on children. Considering the mother-father-child triangle and the benefits of coparenting to the young child, particularly in families in which conflict exists, enhances our work with families. An exploration of the opportunities for integrating coparenting supports into services for families is discussed, and a case for incorporating these strategies into treatment protocols is made. Recommendations for further research on the use of coparenting supports to buffer the effects of family conflict on infants and young children are proposed.
家庭冲突对婴幼儿的社会情感和行为发展有着深远影响。在与婴幼儿相关的工作中，了解共同养育子女的父母之间的冲突渗透进家庭系统的方式至关重要，因为这会为幼儿营造不尽如人意的环境。当前研究表明，身处家庭冲突中的儿童在社交、情感和调节技能发展方面较为滞后。清楚地了解如何通过稳固的共同养育关系来支持儿童十分关键，因为幼儿的安全感能使他们充分发挥自身的发展能力。本报告及对共同养育支持的分析还回顾了有关共同养育冲突对儿童影响的文献。考虑到父母 - 孩子三角关系以及共同养育对幼儿的益处，特别是在存在冲突的家庭中，这有助于提升我们与家庭的工作成效。文中探讨了将共同养育支持融入家庭服务的机会，并提出了将这些策略纳入治疗方案的理由。同时还提出了关于进一步研究如何利用共同养育支持来缓冲家庭冲突对婴幼儿影响的建议。
