Description
Description:
Longitudinal research with newlyweds shows that 67% have a drop in marital satisfaction in the first three years of their baby’s life. Hostility between the partners increases, and the baby’s emotional, cognitive, and neurological development are all adversely affected. The Bringing Baby Home program, which will be described, is effective in preventing both these negative changes and post-partum depression.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe three negative changes in a marriage that can happen after the birth of a child.
- To describe three therapies that can prevent negative changes and post-partum depression.
