Shared Parenting Reduces Childhood Stress

The researchers predicted that, after the children whose parents weren’t divorced, the children who lived with one parent would exhibit the fewest issues.

However, these children were actually significantly more likely to experience various health problems, including:

• Disturbed sleep

• Feelings of tension or sadness

• Dizziness

  Headaches

• Issues concentrating

• Stomachaches or appetite disturbances

The researchers theorized that children who spent time living with both parents after divorce might experience fewer health issues for various reasons. These children might enjoy closer relationships with each parent.

They might also have greater access to financial and social resources, which could offer various benefits for their general well-being. These benefits may make shared parenting an approach worth seriously considering for parents who are already interested in this arrangement.
