“Discussions about single parenting and whether it has a negative impact on children have dragged on for years. When mothers chose to go it alone, it used to be opposed and they were degraded. In today's society, it is becoming more and more common and tolerated. How will this affect the children? The main query is still there. In fact, a significant portion of our population consists of single-parent families. It is not clear whether society has decided to reconsider what constitutes a family. Whether there are any adverse effects on the children of single-parent families is the more important question at hand. This report aims to compare whether children in a single-parent environment can develop as well as children with both parents. For this report , I used the information , data from some country's government website. Causes of divorce in the family and why marriage failed A study (Gillette , 2022) shows that 73.2% due to a lack of effort On a daily basis, being willing to make an attempt to harm your relationship may appear as poor communication, a refusal to make sacrifices, or a lack of kindness. Moreover , the data also shows that 55% is because endless arguments and poor conflict resolution can damage relationships and cause couples to divorce. Another common reason is that in some families , there is lack of equality. One partner's perception of the other person may change and anger may develop when a person feels they hold greater responsibility in the marriage. One of the leading causes of divorce is often an increase of resentment. It is the main reason for divorce (Shellie , 2021) Consequences of parents divorce on children There are many documents showing that the divorce of parents has many negative consequences for children and increases the risk and adaptation problems in their life like academic difficulties. Moreover , these issues also affect the psychological problems of children. This is clearly demonstrated in one study (Emery , 2019) shows that the majority of children whose parents separate or divorce are strong and don't show any overt mental health problems. However, it is important to understand that even healthy young people from separated homes sometimes describe painful emotions or experiences, such as worrying about moments like graduations. As such, it is more difficult to know if the child is severely affected or has difficulties

in life. Because there is also a psychological trauma, it is also difficult for some children to try to talk to their parents about how they are affected or how the child feels. A child's life will be completely turned upside down when he encounters difficulties in life. Especially for children who are still of school age, because their lives are suddenly turned upside down, their learning may be less effective than before. This interruption in their daily focus can mean one of the effects of divorce on children would be seen in their academic performance. The more distracted children are, the more likely they are to not be able to focus on their school work (FamilyMeans , no date). In addition , a study (The Wave Clinic , 2022) Anger, anxiety, depression, uncertainty, and impatience are some of the emotions that affect a child's behavior as a whole. Children who experience the separation of their parents are still developing parts of their brain that prevent them from properly understanding circumstances from other people's viewpoints. They will therefore only ever perceive things from their own perspective, which could lead to irrational behavior. Global perspective With an early (starting in the late 1960s) and high increase in divorce, followed by an explosion in births outside of marriage with or without cohabitation, the US has been a "leader" in family change(NIH , 2019). A decade or two later, most other Western countries saw a rise in divorce; expanding Asia appears to be suffering change at the moment. Only Latvia has a lower percentage of children living with their married, biological parents now than the US, which is around 60%. The article (NIH , 2019) states that separated parents' children and adult offspring are overrepresented in the mental health system. Most mental health interventions concentrate on the recognised risk factors, like parental issues or family strife. It has been demonstrated that structured programmes that provide parenting support and education may reduce the psychological issues that kids face.. Sadly, few therapies for families going through divorce have been thoroughly researched. With just under one-third of single-parent families suffering income poverty, which is three times greater than the poverty rate for two-parent families, divorce often has a significant negative impact on families' standard of living. Additionally, compared to kids who grew up in "intact" households, kids who experienced divorce typically had worse psychological health, more behavioral issues, and lower academic performance (Amato & Boyd , 2013). Local perspective Usually, divorced parents in Vietnam often have many common reasons, but the most common is due to outdated thinking, the husband's family can force the wife to give birth to a son or else they will divorce immediately. This has a very bad effect on children, causing them to have a good view or sometimes a wrong idea. Moreover, it is possible that couples have divorced because they got married at a young age, have not had a career or money to take care of the family. This causes them to divorce because they do not have enough courage and economy to take care of their children, leading to family breakdown(Mai Thuy , 2023) Course of action

Conflict makes kids anxious and causes confusion, which frequently leads them to choose one parent over the other to feel better or to use unhealthy external outlets to express their emotions. So encouraging and cheering the child will help them settle down. Encourage the child to be honest and to express their emotions. Divorce conversation may be a continuing process. Let the child know that the divorce is not their fault. Because when parents divorce , based on the study that some children feel hard when expressing their feelings, it is important to let them frequently express their feelings of rage, anger, despair, and worry(Heath Essential , no date). I think it's very important for a parent to reassure their children's spirits because this affects their children's lives a lot. Help your child adjust by helping them adjust to life back to normal. There are many ways to help, but I think it is advisable to talk to the child as much as possible when they are having a hard time. Source evaluation I have collected some sources that are reliable like the NIH because of sources from the US government. I see that they have based the facts like “ parental divorce/separation is associated with an increased risk for child and adolescent adjustment problems, including academic difficulties” and I think this statement is not biased at all when the issue really affects the children. The other source that I choose and I think is reliable too is an essay from Emery. He based that “ the majority of children whose parents separate or divorce are strong and don't show any overt mental health problems” is trustworthy. Emery is a department of Psychology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, USA so I think that is responsible. But his study might be bias because this is his own research about children's mental health when their parents divorce. Personal Perspective and Conclusion In my perspective , these issues affect a lot. From my personal experience I see that the psychology of children when their parents divorce is often not stable. I think that the divorce of parents can push children into a rebellious period earlier because they do not receive an education from two people, or a pampered parent. If a parent has a child of their own and the first child is not explained thoroughly, they mistakenly think that they have been abandoned. may develop hatred towards one's parents or step-siblings. In conclusion , if parents intend to separate, please make sure that the parent is qualified, can provide education and love for their child so that the child does not feel that he is disadvantaged in the family with only one child with a father or a mother.” are all factual claims supported with evidence and in-text attribution to cite their sources?“ does the report include reflection on how the investigation has developed the writer’s personal perspective?
