Negative Effects Of Single Parent Family

Socially and Emotionally the family is a big influence in a child’s development. Parents have a big role by providing care and guidance for their development. Unfortunately some families cannot promote the development of a child because of the conflict among the parents. A single parent can have difficulties in boosting a better development in children and young people, sometimes a child is separated from its siblings and this can affect them too.

All across the globe, there are children growing up in single-parent households, and through some research

For the first five years of my childhood, I was raised in a single parent home. My mother would have to work harder to provide anything that was needed for me and my other siblings. But that changed when my father came back into our lives when I turned six. From that point on our family structure took a drastic change for the better. My mother didn't have to work as long as before, so we were able to see her more often. Having two parents at home caused the quality of our lives become better than it was before when only one parent supported us. For many households, however the reality is that only one parent during their upbringing. This does have a rather big effort on them in the life of the child and the parent who is raising the child. A single parent household harms the parent and the child.

Last, sometimes parents’ behaviors will significantly influence their children. I read about a news during the new year’s holiday in China that after the law established the rule of the second child policy, some parents lie to their child until the second child was born because after years of being the only child, some of them do not want a brother or sister to share the love from the family. The first child strongly opposes the exist of the baby and even resulted on suicide cases. This emphasizes the importance of communicating and discussing problems with children, especially about their family members because as a part of the family, children also have rights to know what is happening. It’s important for their mental health and can help parents to build a better relationship with children. In conclusion, Amir’s father did wrong on hiding the truth because he should not steal the rights of Amir and Hassan to know their brothers and he should be resiponsible of what he have done, so he could act as a model to his children like a

The more negative terms that are used to describe sole parent families include; broken family, struggling, disadvantaged and separated. These terms can quite often reflect negatively towards the parent whom is solely taking care of the child(ren).

They watch, observe and replicate the coping strategies and attitudes of the parent.

It has been found that there is a correlation between being raised in a one-parent household and then that child later on raising their own children in a one-parent household. Dr. Antoline points out that this mostly happens in divorced families because again, children handle situations as they have seen them be handled. Children who have seen their parents give up on a marriage are more likely to give up easily on theirs because they have learned it is acceptable. Parents don’t realize how deeply their decisions can affect their children’s later on in life.

Children and single parenting begins with the divorce of a couple who have children. The majority of children live with their mother. Non custodial fathers usually have less contact with their children, and involvement usually declines as time goes by. Since most single-parent households are mother-headed their income is usually below that of a man, this causes economic distress and fewer opportunities for educational and extracurricular experiences for the child. Economic constraints may limit growth enhancing experiences. Even children whose fathers pay substantial child support are faced with limiting experiences.

Parenting styles have had many controversial issues over the decades. The way people raised their children back in the 50’s and 60’s are completely different from today society. Back then they believe in the nuclear family, which is a family with a mom, dad, and children. They believe staying together at all cost. If something was breaking or broken you fixed it. At times you wonder if they stayed for love, money, or just for the sake of the children. Now and days it is not the same. Families are broken up for many reasons. Rather it be by death, the other parent wanting out (such as divorce). But in the end there is always a single parent left to take care of the kids in most situations.
