CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
My attention basically is on the effect of Divorce or single parenthood on the socio-personal interaction of a child. In the society where the child finds himself, determine his socio-personal interaction, his emotional instability, his mental ability and psychological capability and so on. A lot has been written about possible relationship between a child and their parents the stability of the home among others such father-mother relationship parent-children relationship and sibling-siblings relationship are clear and better indications of child behaviours.
Seemingly the daily behavior of parents in the family, their agreements and disagreements, their values and priorities from the basis of child’s socialization equally discipline at home such as harsh permissive democratic discipline inconsistency all these really affect a child’s mood and interaction. In the same magnitude the level of cognitive stimulation facilities present in such home could affect the child’s behavior.
Seemingly, the daily behavior of parents in the family, their agreements and disagreements, their values and priorities from the basis of child socialization. Equally, discipline at home, such as harsh, permissive, democratic discipline inconsistency, all these really affect a child’s mood and interaction. In the same magnitude, the level of cognitive stimulation, facilities present in such home could affect the child’s behaviour. The child in a home where there is absence of social, physical and economic severe atmosphere. Such children will not behave in the society. There are those involved in crimes like – riots, cultism, substance abuse, unwanted pregnancy, area boys syndrome, stealing, armed robbery, examination malpractices, prostitution and other similar vices in our society.
Equally, the financial capability of a family to cater and carry out their duties and obligations also add to the effects and a determinant of child’s behaviour. This influences one’s interactive process, determines whether one belongs to the upper middle or lower class in the society. In some cases, home may be described as a normal and abnormal. In any case, it is the children that will feel the impact of such iccyrebces. It is expected then that the society should promote homes that will guarantee good socio-personal outlook of children in the society. Let us briefly assess the effect of a single parent home with the, child ‘they say’ breaking up is hard on more people than just two. As a single relationship problem and breakdown can put their emotional health and wellbeing at risk. If their concerns are not assessed and treated early on after separation occurs your children may have their own dysfunctional relationship patterns when they become adults. Although this research points out that divorce is more difficult for children than was then previously thought, staying in an out relationship so can do significant harm to your children. The worst possible consequence is when a relationship becomes physically abusive.
More importantly, it is better to know that whether it is a single or normal parenthood, the outlook and behaviour of children in the family to the larger society matters most. It is a know fact that, when children are reared h singled parent, they tend to exhibit certain traits such as loneliness, anxiety, stress, depression, withdrawal syndrome, tantrums, monasteries moody, unhappiness, vengeance, etc. The traits exhibited may vary in nature depending on what causes the single parenthood. Based on these facts, such children may feel insecure and the effect could be greatly fell as they grew older. This is simple because such children may be ridiculed by their peers, friends and the society as a whole. This may create opportunity to the traits earlier mentioned, the phenomenon may propel them to act unreasonably in the society.
Conclusively, from the research done, it is proper to say that children brought up in a normal parenthood is stable and normal in their socio-personal interaction than the single parent which is full of instability and problems.
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The effect of single and normal parenthood on the socio-personal interaction of the child as a study has been able to explain the problems and methods in which to adopt, in order to effect a permanent solution to their problems. It also identifies measures and methods to improve upon the child education interaction of the child could it be from a normal or from a single parenthood.
After the completion of the project, the actual solution and remedies gotten from the prediction, and measures and the functioning of the guidance counselor and its strategies in evaluating and assessing the causes and effect of both single and normal parenthood will then be effected through a proper assessment tools. When this is properly done and effected our community will be safe for both children of single and normal parenthood to live in.
THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
According to Encyclopedia America (1997) childhood is that period of life, in which the growing individual makes he transition from childhood to adulthood.
The effect of Divorced and normal parenthood hence can be (as a normal home) a house that has a father, mother and children living together within a good and conducive atmosphere (Fadeyi, 1979). Here the father is seen as the symbol of authority, priest, head, leader, teacher, bread winner and mostly as a provider of good discipline and example to other significant ones at home. In a single parenthood, Frase (1950) described single parenthood as a situation whereby only one of the spouses is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the home. He called this abnormal home. He went on to explain that children from this home are either illegitimate children, adopted children, divorced or separated children with one or both parent death. This separation has a long term effect on the socio-personal outlook of the children.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMS
People live in groups, riot in isolation. In the course of living together, there re bound to be interaction among the people that make up the group. Whether a society is hornogenous such as the Hausas or the Igbos and the Yorubas or literageneous as people in Abuja Lagos States, where people of diverse colour, ethnic groups, language, religious beliefs, education and family set up come together to live, the social interaction of the people is bound to affect the peace, progress, growth and development of that group. If they do not live together in harmony there may be constant riot, fight, war, low level of development and stunted growth. There may be social vices such as prostitution, stealing, armed robbery, substance abuse and street hawking. All these have their roots traced to the type, nature and kind of family structure prevalent in such society.
A good and classical example is the elite settlement that are characterized by normal or single parenthood good education, stable financial based and discipline at home is bound to produce severe environment clean and descent surrounding and disciplined children. The area under study is a village community with various gangs constituting to threat and danger. Prevalent in the area are prostitution, riots, stealing, parenthood is very much rampant. It is the aim of this study, to highlight critically the behaviour of childhood the society as to whether he or she is brought up in a single or in e normal parenthood set up.
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
It is made to study empirically the personal social interaction of the childhood in relation to the nature and orientation of the family they belong or came from it is expected that at the end of the study it would be clear whether normal parenthood is better than a single parenthood. It would also enable us to know the cause and effects of a single parenthood in the country.
In addition, the personal social interaction of childhood would analyzed vis-à-vis, relationship with significant orders at horns, peer groups, friends and formation of gangs that perpetuate havoc in the society and are involved in social vices such as prostitution, substance abuse, unwanted pregnancies, rage, cultism and many other vices.
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
The research questions to be answered in this study are as follows:
- Do adolescents from normal parenthood have confident in the society ‘ban adolescents from single parenthood?
- Do adolescents from single parenthood conduct themselves better than those in the normal parenthood?
- Does normal parenthood promote adequate personal social interaction of adolescents?
- Does single parenthood promote adequate personal social interaction of adolescents?
- Is single parenthood normally round in the village settings or in the urban settings?

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The project tries to unveil and highlight the causes and acceptance of single and normal parenthood in the society. It is unique in the sense that its concept and character create opportunity to assess between the adolescents in a single parenthood and normal Parenthood to know its effects and problem it causes in the society. This project will assist in unveiling whether childhood who are involved in societal vices especially in tertiary institutions and which is also gradually creeping into the secondary and primary institutions such as riots, cultism, substance abuse, etc., will be examinor1.
It is expected that, the result findings embedded in this study would assist government at all levels, non-governmental organizations, parents, teachers and the society at large to selectively prefer and promote normal parenthood that will also promote peace and progress in the society.
The project therefore will assist people who are in the single parenthood to cope in the situations they find themselves and to also equip them on the way they would realistically rear their children to behave well in the society and for them to be goal oriented and purposeful to prevent drop-outs children and adolescents from joining bad gangs and getting themselves involved in vices that would affect their future life.
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The study involves a larger society and may be limited in scope, sample population, time frame all arising from time limit and financial outlays. It will be limited in scope because it will be carried out in small locality of population below 1,000 people. People will be randomly selected and interviewed among the total population of the area. Time also plays a greater role. That notwithstanding, the result of the findings could be generalized to a wider and varied society despite the sample population.
It should be noted that since the study will be carried out in a heterogeneous society the result of the findings will be assumed to have higher and acceptable generalization.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
Here is the scope of the research study; it could be boldly described here as carried out in a village of Use-Offot in Uyo. It would involve a thousand of people in the community.
