This is what a typical child keep in a single rise up family might say when he odours ignored by one of his parents. This could be ball over to some people who believe that single parenthood doesnt greatly affect a childs life or attitude (McLanaham 1). But the fact is that not all children who grow up in single parent families are able to maintain a successful life, most of these children might suffer from great difficulties in making a transition to adulthood (Mather 1). These children are more vulnerable to poverty which increases the dangers of growing up in a single parent household to more than just economical ones. Poverty might even cause an increase in the risks of dropping out of school, disconnecting from labor forces, and ending up as a thieves stuck in a room with not even a single parent away (Mather 1). Early studies suggest that growing up with one parent had no long term effects on the child, but more recent reports show that the effects of parental breakup might sometimes extend to having the children intentionally damage their bodies and some might even commit suicide due to major(ip) psychiatric diseases (Single-parent Children at Increased Risk of Suicide). Adolescents who had grown up with only one of their parents during their childhood are twice as likely to suffer from poverty, throw low academic achievements, and suffer from low levels of sociable and stirred up well- be (McLanaham 1).Poverty is one of the main problems that most single-parent children suffer from. Unlike children li ving with a regular family, single-parent children usually eat only one parent to provide income (Family and Community 10). Without the support of their husbands, single mothers submit a difficult challenge in maintaining a stable economy for their family. These mothers have expressage financial book of factss and cant easily afford to cover their childrens education, child care, and health care costs (Mather 2). For this reason, most of them tend to stick out with their parents or with other relatives to gain their financial support (Mather 2). Some of these mothers tend to honour another option which is returning to school and resuming their education in order to find adequate jobs with probable salaries (Family and Community 10). If the father was too busy to take care of his recent family, he should at least(prenominal) ensure that his childs mother has a good educational rank and good job trainings to ensure that his children successfully pass to the stage of adulthood ( Mather). He cant just leave everything on the mother he has major responsibilities which he should never ignore towards a child which is in total need of both of his parents.Most parents miss the fact that their children could understand all what is going on around them these children realize that their parent cant afford all what they need and crave for. As a result, they try to minimize their requests and flag to demanding for nothing but the necessities. In a way or another, the children proceed the ones nurturing their parent instead of them being the ones nurtured. These childrens parent often has no enough money to afford the cost of school trips or any extra activities which blocks any attempt of being able to build any genial relationship, whats amazing and shocking at the same time near most of these children is that they rarely complain and dont ask for more than whats lendable (What Children from Single Parent Families Have to Say 25). Poverty could thus damage both financial and social aspects of a childs life.Many factors play important roles in the childrens development and affect the way they think and act. These factors complicate neighborhood characteristics, schools, and peer networks. But the most important factor which affects the childs growth is the parents themselves who provide the major source of social support in the childrens lives (Mather 1). With the mothers busy finding a way to provide income for their children, the child grows not only with a single parent but besides with no parents at all, and the bad effects are thus doubled. These children always demand contact with the non-resident parent and complain about the way he/she is ignoring their presence. Their biggest concerns are the problems among their resident parent, their non-resident parent, and themselves (What Children from Single Parent Families Have to Say 13). They always think about every fight that happens and they even sometimes blame themselves. In additi on to spending no time with their parents, these children also spend no time with their friends. The lack of money they face causes them difficulties in getting along with their peers they feel excluded when their friends do activities that require money which they themselves dont have (What Children from Single Parent Families Have to Say 25).After having suffered from poverty at an early age, children in single parent households become more vulnerable to mental and psychiatric diseases (Single-parent children at increased risk of suicide). The simplest problems could appear as major ones in their view they need much more care and attention than other children. But the painful fact is that not only do these children face financial poverty, but also time poverty they repeatedly complain about how much they need attention from their parent who always comes tired from work and needs a long reposeful sleep (What children from single parent families have to say 14). These parents can t realize the fact that their supervision of their children at this stage is extremely important to enhance their well-being. This single parent has little time to monitor his/her children closely, and lastly he/she knows nothing about where his/her children are, who they are with, and what theyre doing (Why Single stemma Affects Children 24). Some of these children take advantage of this office and commit actions like suicide in order to escape from what they think is an unbearable situation (Single-parent Children at Increased Risk of Suicide). This lack of parental monitoring terribly affects the childs behavior and causes him lots of psychological and emotional problems. Whether or not their mother was remarried, these children are susceptible to the risk of depression which increases with the increase of conflicts among their biological parents (Kawachi et al).With all the problems they are facing, single parents obviously have no time to get involved in their childrens scho ol activities and usually have no enough money to set high academic goals for their children. These are the major factors which are well known to endanger the academic achievement of children. The more the parents are involved in their childrens school, the less are the problems that their children face in their education. With the lack of a stable educational background, these children face legion(predicate) difficulties in being enrolled in quality universities and eventually in finding quality jobs (Why Single Parenthood Affects Children 24). The poverty of their parents affects their educational achievements in different manners the ones who grow up poor mostly have lower literacy rates, higher rates of dropping out of school, and even higher delinquency rates (The Causes and Consequences of Childrens Poverty).The minds of these children are often busy with their parents problems and they have no time to think about their school or about anything related to their education. The y are full of nothing but psychological problems and free of academic aspirations. Most of them face difficulties in attending school and thinking about anything other than their parents disunite. With all the stress upon them, their academic achievements become less and eventually end up having them drop out of school. While going through a divorce, parents should pay close attention to their children to make sure that they face a low amount of stress. They have to make sure that their children understand very well that they will do anything to reduce the impact of divorce upon their lives (Hawkins). Anger might overcome these children and lead to severe problems at school, some of them might not be able to control their anger and engage in fights with their schoolmates because they only want someone to argue with to musical accompaniment themselves they even sometimes engage in fights with their teachers. The more the time he gets involved in fights, the less the time he spends in classroom (Hawkins).But the fact is that many children raised by single parent mothers grow up to be quite successful. These children are probably the ones who had responsible parents who knew how to treat their children in order to sustain a peaceful life. If this parent took his child out for dinner of even sit with him peacefully on the dinner table in an attempt to listen, his child might happily bond this chance and complain about all what hes suffering from instead of committing suicide or tearing his clamber apart. One hour per day is quite enough to solve the childs social issues. As for the parent living in poverty, keep it to yourself and never complain about this problem near your children even if you have to live without many things that you are used to. When the children see their parents suffering, they might blame themselves and think that they are the reason for their parents depression. judge to find ways to afford even the simplest school trips to help your c hildren fit into the outside world and block about living with a single parent. It would be a responsible act of the parent if he/she gives his/her childs school a visit once per week to ask about his/her academic performance and to hear whether he/she is facing problems. Single-parenting is not a disaster if the parents were responsible and knew how to act.
