Single Parenting
A single parent is a parent who cares for children without the assistance of another person in the home. The legal definition of "single parenthood" may vary according to the local laws of different nations or regions. Single parenthood may occur as the result of many things. Often it is opted for by the parent, and often it is an unforseeable occurrence.
Many factors influence how children develop in single-parent families: the parent's age, education level, and occupation; the family's income; and the family's support network of friends and extended family members.
Single parenthood can be very challenging. Children of single parents are very likely to share more household responsibilities, including looking after themselves. Single parents often discuss things with their children which, in other families, are usually discussed only between parents.
