Why do people enter into it?
Various studies have demonstrated the connection between parent relationship quality and outcomes for children and families. People who are solely interested in having children enter into such arrangements. According to an article, there are online apps and websites that connect people with similar goals. App creators recommend that before people get involved in platonic parenting, they get to know each other first.
Parents who have healthier relationships with each other tend to have well-adjusted children. These kids grow up to have positive notions of marriage and relationships. It also affects their ability to enter into such relationships when they’re older.
Similarly, parents who have difficult relationships tend to affect the kids negatively. It affects their physical health, academic performance, and psychological and social outcomes. According to the study, this is true for families of various backgrounds in terms of child gender, age, family type, race and ethnicity, and economic status.
What are the benefits of platonic parenting to the child?
- Stability: Children need consistency. They need to know what to expect in terms of communication and schedules between co-parents.
- Less emotional burden on kids: Unhealthy relationships between parents might force the child to provide emotional support that they’re not mature enough to give. Co-parenting lifts this emotional stress off the children.
- Conflict resolution: Like any other family, co-parents teach by example. As a result, kids may learn about relationships and how to resolve problems that may arise from less-than-favorable situations.
