“…Co-parenting an infant or very young child after separation involves complex developmental considerations, and disputes over the best way to go about this are common in family law. Vulnerabilities of infants and toddlers to chronic and acute disruptions in parenting responsiveness before and after separation are well documented (Lucas, Nicholson, & Erbas, 2013;Weaver & Schofield, 2015).…”

This article reports on a cluster randomized pilot study of a mediation‐based intervention for separated parents of very young children, Young Children in Divorce and Separation (YCIDS). The control group intervention was “Mediation plus Reading.” Participants were separated parents attending mediation over a co‐parenting dispute concerning a child under the age of 5 years (n=33 cases). Nine of the 16 key child and parent outcomes were significantly better for the intervention group, with the remainder nonsignificant between groups. Mediators reported 35 per cent lower referral on to legal action for YCIDS cases following mediation. Implementation complexities of the YCIDS program led to the development of an online intervention format, now the subject of a further study. Further implications of this pilot study are discussed.

“…Assim, conforme apontado pelas crianças participantes da pesquisa nesse núcleo dos resultados, o sofrimento gerado pela manutenção do conflito familiar antes, durante e após a separação/divórcio, corrobora estudos vigentes na literatura (Cashmore & Parkinson, 2011;Juras & Costa, 2011a;Stover, 2013), a qual indica claramente os sentimentos por elas nomeados, evidenciando que a saúde mental das crianças pode ser afetada e, inclusive, atingir a idade adulta (Baker & Brassard, 2013;Cohen & Levite, 2011;Lehrmann, 2010;Lucas et al, 2013), especialmente se o conflito for intenso e crônico (Johnston, et al, 2009). Desse modo, compreende-se que a criança, no contexto de disputa de guarda, revela-se protagonista no sistema familiar, na interface com o sistema judicial, no momento em que é avaliada, ocasião em que se expressa autenticamente, e aguarda a decisão do juiz, pois acredita que será atendida em suas necessidades de proteção e segurança, a despeito dos diferentes pontos de vista apresentados por seus pais nesse contexto de beligerância (Santos, 2014).…”

A Deus, por ter me permitido existir. Aos meus pais, Olívio (in memoriam) e Santina, por terem me dado a vida que me possibilitou conhecer, estudar e aprender. Ao meu irmão, Paulo Eduardo, e às minhas irmãs, Erci, Alda, Vanda Cristina, pelo aprendizado da fraternidade, cooperação e compartilhamento ao longo da vida. Ao meu marido, Wildson Luiz, por me incentivar sempre e acreditar na minha capacidade. Aos meus filhos, Eveline, Viviane e Cristiano, por me apoiarem no desafio da realização deste trabalho, embora não soubéssemos o quão duro seria. Contudo, ficou o exemplo de persistência e coragem de jamais desistirmos diante das dificuldades no enfrentamento dos desafios em prol da individuação objetivando a totalidade. À minha orientadora e professora, Liana, por nunca desistir de mim e me ensinar tudo o que sabe e como sabe. Muito me alegra a possibilidade de continuarmos trabalhando juntas na confecção de artigos científicos para publicação.

ImportanceAdversity during childhood can limit children’s chances of achieving their optimal developmental and psychological outcomes. Well-designed observational studies might help identify adversities that are most implicated in this, thereby helping to identify potential targets for developing interventions.ObjectiveTo compare the association between preventing childhood poverty, parental mental illness and parental separation, and the population rate of offspring common mental disorders (ages 16-21 years) or average school grades (age 16 years).Design, Setting, and ParticipantsA population-based, longitudinal cohort study using Swedish registries was conducted. A total of 163 529 children born in Sweden between January 1, 1996, and December 31, 1997, were followed up until their 21st birthday. They were linked to registries using Sweden’s national personal identification number. Children were linked to birth parents, hospital records, and school data. Parents were linked to registries containing health, income, sociodemographic, and obstetric data. Analyses were conducted between January 10, 2021, and August 26, 2022.ExposuresChildhood adversities of relative poverty (household disposable income &lt;50% of the median), parental inpatient admission for a mental illness, or parental separation. Adversities were categorized into developmental periods: ages 0 to 3, 4 to 7, 8 to 11, and 12 to 16 years.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe main outcomes were children’s hospital records with a diagnosis of anxiety or depression between ages 16 and 21 years and school grades at the end of compulsory education (age 16 years). The parametric g-formula modeled population changes in outcomes associated with the counterfactual, hypothetical preventing adversity exposures, accounting for fixed and time-varying confounders. Adjustments were made for parental demographic characteristics, obstetric variables, and socioeconomic data at birth.ResultsA total of 163 529 children were included in the cohort (51.2% boys, 51.4% born in 1996). Preventing all adversities was associated with an estimated change in the prevalence of offspring common mental disorders from 10.2% to 7.6% and an improvement in school grades with an SD of 0.149 (95% CI, 0.147-0.149). Preventing parental separation provided for the greatest improvement, with an estimated 2.34% (95% CI, 2.23%-2.42%) fewer children with a common mental disorder and an improvement in school grades by 0.127 SDs (0.125-0.129). Greater improvements were shown by hypothetically targeting adolescents (age 12-16 years) and those whose parents had a mental illness when the child was born.Conclusions and RelevanceThe results of this cohort modeling study suggest that preventing childhood adversity could provide notable improvements in the rates of common mental disorders and school grades. Many children might achieve better life outcomes if resources are properly allocated to the right adversities (parental separation), the right groups (children with parental mental illness), and at the right time (adolescence).
