My research question is: How does the transition from a two-parent to a single-parent household affect child development? This topic interests me because I experienced the transition from a two-parent to a single-parent household, and it had a significant impact on me. When I was younger, I didn’t want to attend school because I missed my father and felt unable to spend time with him. This affected my school work and disrupted my normal routine, especially since we were moving frequently with my mother and sisters.
