This document discusses the argument that single parenting does not provide the best environment for child development. The purpose is to explain how both a father and mother are important for a child's well-being. Some reasons given are that single parenting can lead to lack of discipline, emotional problems in children from craving affection or having loose expectations, and health issues like poor physical or psychological health. Counter arguments are addressed, like a single parent being able to make parenting decisions or that a neglectful parent impacts children negatively, but the document refutes these and concludes that group decision making and maintaining a positive environment are better approaches.
