The effects of single parenting



 
The number of single parents has increased a lot in the past few years. As this number will probably continue to grow, it is important to study the effects of single parenting on the children.
 
Single parents have to do everything on their own, they don't have a partner to help them if necessarily. On top of that, most of these parents have to work fulltime. The combination of the huge amount of responsability towards their kids and their boss, can cause a lot of stress.
 
It's obvious that single parenting isn't easy on the adults, but it sure isn't easy on the kids either. The stress of the parents can be reflected on the life of the kids and they are often faced with social problems or lower academic results.
 
Most off these effects aren't just temporarily, but have an influence on the further life of the kids, which makes it obvious that solutions are required. One of these solutions is asking for help. This help can come from friends and family, but even from doctors or Child Welfare.
