cparker_assignment1.docxMy topic is important because children suffer when they are not being raised by both of their parents on a fulltime basis. Children are very resilient and can handle a lot more things then we give them credit for but I believe they will do better in school and life in general when both parents are fully engaged in their life on a daily basis. Children that have parents that are divorced have a greater chance of growing up and getting into more trouble not only at school but with the law too. Kid’s attitudes and lives depend on the attitudes of their parents. When children see their parents getting divorced to them it could mean their parents have given up and therefore the child feels it okay to give up. No parent wants to be the cause of why their children didn’t grow up and be successful. .
Are children with married parents happier or the same as divorced parents?
Two variables would be ages of children at the time of divorce and education level of the parents at the time of divorce.
Children who parents have split up or divorced have a greater chance of being abused or neglected. They have more behavioral problems and other problems. Children will either blame themselves or blame one of the parents for leaving. They don’t understand exactly why mom and dad are divorcing. Kids that have parents that are divorced could also have more problems educationally in school. If they have trouble focusing or are depressed that their parents split up then it will show in their school work. Also, when you go from a 2 income household to a 1 income household the way of living that the children are used to decreases. So all the things they were used to getting that they wanted and not needed become less and less.
