2. Early parentchildinteractions areimportant contributorsto the development ofchild behaviors. 3. Some studies have shown that a boy raised without a father can lead tocrime and prison, as where a girlwithout a father can lead to ateenage pregnancy. 4. When raising achildalone, parentsneed to spendmore time and pay close attention to fillin that missinggap from their childs life. 5. It is relatively shown in research studies that a child beingraised in a single- parent home willultimately result inpoor schoolperformance or dropout completely. 6. Research indicates that single parents tend to be less able to supporttheir childrens schooling through supervision and monitoring of their school work, and they may have lower expectations regarding theirchildrens school achievements. 7. Although sometimes a divorce orseparation is inevitable, there are resources and people out there inlocal communities and agencies that can help parents and children deal with a single-parent home life style. 8. No matter what the situation, parents need to stay actively concerned and involved in their childs life to help prevent any and all of thesepossible negative outcomes of a single-parent home. 9.
