Skip to main content Psychology Today Find a Therapist Get Help Magazine Today US Search Find a Therapist (City or Zip) Verified by Psychology Today The Single-Parent Family Reviewed by Psychology Today Staff A single parent is someone who is unmarried, widowed, or divorced and not remarried. The single-parent household can be headed by a mother, a father, a grandparent, an uncle, or aunt. According to the Pew Research Center, between 25 to 30 percent of children under age 18 in the U.S. live in a single-parent household. The U.S. Census reports that roughly 22 million children live with a single parent. And three times as many women, when compared with men, head these households. On This Page The Well-Being of Children in a Single-Parent Household The Challenges of Single-Parent Families Raising Kids as a Single Parent The Well-Being of Children in a Single-Parent Household Single parents should be reassured by the fact that a large number of studies find no differences between the children of single mothers and children from other types of households. One study looked into the lives of children from different kinds of households—two-parent biological, adoptive, step-father, step-mother, single-parent—and the type of household did not matter. Children’s grades, and their relationships with their siblings and their friends, were about the same across all households. In a survey of adolescents living in nine types of households, those who lived with parents who had always been single and who were being raised in multi-generational households reported the highest sense of well-being of all those surveyed. Can children of single parents fare just as well as children of married couples? In studies as well as many reports from children themselves, children are better off raised by a single parent as opposed to living with married parents who engage in constant conflict. Children raised by one divorced parent sometimes have better outcomes than children raised by a parent who is remarried. It is impossible to predict a child's outcome based on this one factor alone. Are there positives for children raised by a single parent? Yes. Every situation involves trade-offs, and they often go unrecognized at the time. In a common refrain, the grown child of a single, working mom reported that he was glad that his mom was busy all the time. His friends, by contrast, had moms who stayed at home. These parents were hyper-involved in their lives, including their schoolwork and schedules. This overbearing participation produced problems between parent and child. Can a single parent become too close to their child? Are children of single parents at risk for substance abuse? Are children of single parents at risk for other serious problems? The Challenges of Single-Parent Families Children need a safe and reliable household to flourish. Of course, it is much harder for single-parents who live with financial hardship.
