How can caregivers coordinate support when a child’s father lives in another household?
This study includes resident and nonresident fathers and examines supportive coparenting alongside observed child self-regulation. It broadens collaboration beyond a single household arrangement.
Who was studied?
257 fathers and families facing economic hardship in Boston, Chicago, and San Antonio.
Age / stage: Approximately 2–4 years initially and 3–6 years at follow-up
Read with three questions
- How did the associations differ for resident and nonresident fathers?
- How were child self-regulation and father involvement assessed?
- What do the observational design and subgroup comparisons leave unresolved?
Keep the limits in view
The design establishes associations, not randomized effects. Father reports and subgroup differences should not be treated as prescriptions for all family arrangements.
