The support of the family is the most positive aspect of family life. The rise of single parent homes has produced a negative change in family life stating that single mothers are too often bearing the burden of raising

The data collection method in the needed assessment to address the questions is best conducted through qualitative analysis approach as a preference for the spouses and my assessments questionnaires (Creswell, 2009; Soriano, 2013). Qualitative analysis of the evaluation questions is best to enable narrative understanding of the overall circumstance to obtain a complete analysis of the situations (Creswell, 2009; Laureate Education,

In 2002, number of children living with their single parent was 16.5 million (Davidson). The most important thing is that each single-parent family is different from the other. Children who live with a widowed mother will definitely be living a different home life from children with divorced parents or the one whose parents were never married. Children of the parents who were divorced will always have some kind of relationship with parents and parents’ partners. But it is obvious that children from single-parent families face tougher times economically as well as

In today’s society it is not unusual to have a one-parent family with a young mother in charge. Teen mothers having children has increased so much over the years that it’s now a common occurance. Being a young single mother in today’s society is challenging but with the help of government assistance single mothers are finding their way.

As time progresses, family structures are rapidly shifting. In 2007, unmarried parents produced 40% of US children. This was over twice the 18 percent in 1980 and about eight times greater than the 5% in 1960 (Waldfogel, Craigie, Brooks-Gunn, 2).  In a study of 5000 children in many large cities, 3,700 of them were born to unmarried mothers. According to Waldfogel, Craigie, and Brooks-Gunn, such familiar conditions are dangerous because of the way that single mothers and unmarried parents tend to have less stable lives and relationships

Families who have dealt with being a single parent typically see themselves being judged by other parents. For example, Jamie Rush a teen mom said "If he acts up, or if he falls over and bumps his head, I always think people are looking at me as if to say "It's because you're a teenager." (Rush 3). This shows that teen moms are trying their best and love their kids too. Schools are helping teenage single parents. Take the case of Jamie, after she gave birth to her son, she went to an alternative school with a built in daycare (Rush 1). This tells you that there is help for teens out there, but it's not always available to everyone. Socially speaking, one of the primary causes of single parents is because of one of the parent's death. Through research, we have found that the primary cause of single-parent households was because of parental death (Chamie 1). This proves that not all single-parent homes is because of teen pregnancies. As a result, there are many single parents struggling with being judged, or because of significant other's death. But there are schools, helping

Even though this portion of the group is not as large as the other side of the teen dad group, it still exist and it still has a large impact on the teenage father community. Despite the fact that dropping out of high school is frowned upon, many teenage fathers make the sacrifice and dropout to get a job and financially take care of their family. Plenty of teen fathers also quit the teenage years and officially commit to the mother; according to the ModernMom, in the article Teen Dad and Pregnancy Facts, about “20% of teen fathers marry the baby’s mother.” However, the ModernMom Staff continue to say that the other portion of teen mothers continue to live with the parents and the baby; this affects the relationship with the father in which domino affect the relationship between the father and son. This generally cuts the interactions and ends the relationship with the child. Even with this in mind a good portion, although it is the lesser percent of the whole, continue to make an effort to be in the child’s life, in spite of the relationship between the mother and father. Although this portion of the group of teenage dads has give the entire groups some better credit, the other portion where the teen fathers do not stay and are incompetent of taking care of a child still

In this unbalanced piece, Garibaldi unfairly conveys his opinionated and biased arguments by revealing only his personal first-hand point of view. He informs the reader about some of the background information about Nicole and her family history, which leads him to conclude that single teen parents are at a higher risk of having their own child be a single teen parent, with no other statistics or opposing views to back his claim. The teen shelter organization for teen mothers supports Garibaldi’s interest by divulging, “Teen pregnancy is closely linked to single parenthood, and the growth in single parent families” (ask for citation). Other statistics from well-known sources would help balance his single sighted view. He does, however, reveal

The journal article is talking about the difficulties which the single-parent families facing, such as emotional problems, housing stress and financial stress. It generated different viewpoints from different literature, and suggested an approach to meet the needs of single-parents.

Divorce and out-of-wedlock childbearing are now epidemic in American society. Both forms of disrupted families are harmful to children and to society. The children of single parents are more likely to do poorly in school, commit crimes, and become single parents themselves. In addition, the increase in single-parent families contributes to such social problems as poverty, crime, and a decline in the quality of public education.

This week we look at the parenting in single-parent families and stepfamilies from each angle, we were able to understand the different household make up. The learn information of the different type of single-parent families. The stated information by Turner and colleges (2012) there are variety of type of families of the single-parent make up. (Turner, P. H., Welch, K., & Hamner, T. J., 2012) As becoming a service provider to families I have to understand that each make up of a family is different. This is very informational and will be apply to my studies. In the chapter it also address that single-parent home can be of a father or mother that is taking care of children alone.

Married couples make up 68% of all families with children under 18, compared to 93% in 1950 (US 2015 Census). This demonstrates that more and more children are living in households with single parents. Single parents have to deal with jobs and other sources of stress making it difficult to give their children the attention they need. Additionally, single parents are the only ones that are providing for the family so they have a lot on their plate. This can provide stress on the child because they can feel unloved or even hated. As the rate of single parents go up, so does the amount of children that are not receiving enough

Corcoran, Franklin and Bennett (2000) confirm, “being part of a single-parent household seems to act as a risk factor for early pregnancy.” Among singe-parent households, “conflict within the family, stress, and less monitoring and control of children” occurs, which the authors say can increase the risk of teen pregnancy. In addition, “teenagers experiencing family problems might be more at risk for influence by a negative peer group” that could potentially lead to motherhood at an early age. They also claim “support is indicated for parental control over teen activities as a protective factor against teenage pregnancy” that a lot of times isn’t found in single-parent homes.
