Оne-parent- family

Currently, there are four types of family: nuclear family, extended family, one-parent- family, childless Family.

An incomplete family is a group of next of kin consisting of one parent with one or more minor children.

Such families may arise for various reasons. Their specifics certainly affect the socialization of the child.

For example, such families may arise when adopted or adopted by a single citizen. However, it is worth saying that single fathers are much less likely to be allowed to take a child from a shelter, since stereotypes do not occupy the last place in society.

In Russia, there is the concept of a "temporarily incomplete family." He is assigned if, for example, the father is taken to military service in the army, or if one of the parents is wanted by the police.

Also, children raised by one parent more often have health problems. They are more susceptible to infections and the formation of chronic diseases. Statistics say this, but this is the case. The reason is the lack of time: a single parent is not able to fully monitor the health of the child.

Problems can arise not only with physical, but also with psychological health. Comparing yourself with peers from full families, the child can feel like an outcast. Fortunately, such cases are less and less common, as society has begun to tolerate single parents.

A special role is played by a different assimilation of gender roles. Despite the fact that a rigid distinction by the type of male miner, and a female housewife, are a thing of the past, their echoes have not gone anywhere. It is not surprising that a single mother is more difficult to raise her son than a girl.

The rhythm of urban life affects traditional families, often causing their imminent destruction.

The reasons are most often:

1. Abandonment of traditional family roles. Now in society it is not believed that only a father can raise a worthy man from a boy.

2. Overstated requirements for spouses and, as a result, disappointment.

3. Alcoholism or drug addiction of one of the partners.

4. Spread of premarital sex.

5. Neglect of abortion and contraception.

6. Early marriages and the unprepared youth for family life.

As the number of incomplete families grows, they began to be treated as a normal phenomenon not only in the everyday environment, but also within the framework of sociological research. It happens that relatives help the parent with parenting: it can be a grandfather or grandmother.
