Children effect in single parent family
In single parent families, children are affected in many ways. A child growing up in a single parent family may be forced to accept adult responsibilities at an early age. Children with single parents have a higher chance of dropping out of school. They also have a tendency to show little to no emotional development. Most children with single parents are affected by these disadvantages. Here is a poem about single mother struggling everyday but at the end of the day every day is done with the help of God, written by Tiara.
“I sit and look out upon the life of a single parent
I hear the single mother 's selfless cries of loneliness for her child in the still darkness of the night
I see the mother awaking her child with a playful game of peek-a-boo with a smile as warm and bright as the afternoon sun at its apex of the day
I mark the loving kindness she expresses toward her son even with the all the trials and tribulations this world puts upon her I observe the mother getting herself ready for work with the misgivings of the coming day (where are my socks, did I already put salt in the eggs, where did I put my keys) I observe the quiet darkness of the child 's bedroom with the mother sitting on the bed with a Bible in hand telling her child of all the wonderful things of God love then kissing him good night .All these things are things a mother has to do to help her child grow
See hear, and be not afraid you can succeed with God help” ( Tiara S. Winston).
In many families with just one parent, a child will be introduced to many responsibilities at an earlier age than a child with both parents. “Remember your child’s role is to be a child who is now growing up in a newly divorced household” Kecskes Alex. Many children tend to act like a grown up because in single parent family the parent is not available to be there so the children parent teach them that they have to be strong
