Maginis states children from single parent families are more likely to have behavior problems because they tend to lack economic security and adequate time with parents, he agrees with notion that in order to avoid behavior problems children should not be raised from single parents for they lack economic security . Its true children from single parent’s family can lack economic securities but I tend to differ that it has harmful effect on the child. As a young girl who grew up with lots of hardship due single parenthood I was always aware about our financial problems if I wanted. Something my mother would plan and save for it maybe I would get it maybe not. Unlike some children who would cause a scene in a mall just because they wanted a piece of cookie I knew NO meant a NO and that notion has helped me to be a hardworking and responsible person in the society today. That’s why I would like to differ with the most of the people in the society today that the only way children can gain full emotional and behavioral skills are to be raised by both …show more content…

On the other hand, having roles for each person was important for the success of the community in general. This happened because by being organized they could know how to act in emergencies.
A two parent household is crucial for the development of
There’s no typical family as nuclear families as in the past and not everyone lives in a multigenerational household. Same-sex families are also on the rise as sexual ambiguity is undergoing its own wave of acceptance in all political, social, and economic spheres. With the absence of the parents’ presence in the home due to an inability effectively balance work and home life, children could develop an emotional void/absence. Good communicative dialogue between children and their parents where the adults describe their work situation as it relates to the home to create resilient children, could possibly benefit the household.
In a family there are many different roles; there's the role of the mother, the father, the child, the grandparents, then there’s the brothers and sisters. Every single one of those roles has different responsibilities. The father, according to most of society, is supposed to be the breadwinner for the family. However, nowadays the mother is actually quite capable of being the breadwinner just as much of as the father. As they work to show their children what it is to be an adult they are teaching them as well on how to be an active member of society.

Naturally single parents tend to be very close to their children, but care should be taken to avoid too much encroachment on responsibilities. For example, serious issues may arise if a single mother demands that her son takes on the responsibilities of the man of the house or treats the daughter as a confidant, burdening the girl with personal problems. This is improper, and it may be confusing to a

Determinants of childlessness may be found also in early life course experiences in the family, such as parental socio-economic status and birth order. Higher parental socioeconomic status has been found to be related to less coercive parenting styles with moderate to high levels of parental warmth, greater independence training, and a greater emphasis on achievement: all predictors of childlessness [5]. These parenting styles are likely to foster greater independence and autonomy in children and the early development of an achievement identity versus a mothering identity, also found to predict childlessness. Explanation of religion in voluntary childlessness is infrequent as religious norms generally encourage high levels of fertility and traditional values, which can run counter to the values of a family with no children [5]. Another study on childlessness stated that birth order, size of family of orientation, mother’s employment, or perceived parental happiness were not related to childlessness [6].
