repercussions of this parenting strategy in terms of depression, anxiety, and reduced overall success in college and careers have been documented in numerous scientific studies.

Each one carries different characteristics and brings about different reactions in the children which they are used on.

The demands of income earning, child raising, and housework mean the single parent may have little or no time for themselves (Single Parenting). In everyday life it is more difficult for single parents to function effectively as parents compared to having both parents. As a single parent you have to do everything that your husband or wife would do, such as taking kids to school,…

Behind closed doors Fear is a sign of respect. A step parent to a 14 year old girl has been accused of child abuse. Her actions were not acceptable to him. When he realized she was lying he spanked her with a belt, causing minor bruises. The step parent did not mean to cause any harm just a spank to make her regret lying.
