INTODUCTION

Broken families can have a significant impact on children's social and emotional
well-being. Children who come from broken homes may struggle with feelings of
sadness, isolation, and anger. They may also have difficulty forming healthy relationships
with others and experience challenges in school and other areas of their lives. In this blog
post, we'll explore the effects of broken families on children's social and emotional well-
being, and provide some tips on how to support children who are dealing with the
aftermath of a family breakup.

When families are separated, it is usually difficult for all family members to come to
terms with the situation. However, children are often the biggest victims of family
breakdown. We have good reason to worry about the impact of broken homes on our
children. Family stability is the basis for a child's lifelong development. When parents
separate, children lose stability and lose basic childhood concepts and negative
perceptions that can haunt them for the rest of their lives.

The family has a strong influence on the child and is important as the subject of
socialization, so there is no doubt that it promotes or hinders the improvement of
children's academic ability depending on the social situation in the home. Differences in
psychosocial and emotional empowerment in family backgrounds may be indicators of
high and low student achievement, given the mediating effects of high and low
socioeconomic status and the preconditions of students' emotional stability for academic
achievement. be.

Because parents play a key role in the academic development of most children, family
disruption can have a significant negative impact on student academic performance.
Parents and single parents say they have limited time to spend on their children's
schoolwork .

The problem of broken homes is a universal phenomenon affecting both developed and
underdeveloped countries. The house is the wall of the house, but the people who live
there make the house. A house becomes a house only when it is completed. A house can
be a house without being destroyed.

A lack of parental guidance can affect a child's attitude. They feel lonely when they have
no one to share their problems with. Some of the interviewees have broken up families
and have never planned or decided to live alone, so they usually keep quiet sometimes
despite having many problems. .

Children may feel sad, angry, sad, and confused about family separation. You can also
blame yourself. Find your own emotional support and develop your ability to help your
child. Avoid criticizing the other parent in front of the child.

The family is a training ground for exploring emotions and living in relationships.
Families provide access to and awareness of social-emotional skills and teach adolescents
how to deal with experiences in a variety of settings, including after-school programs.

According to Stephanie Hess (2021). Conflicts between parents can have a

devastating effect on a child's well-being and social behavior. This study found an
association between increased frequency of parental conflict and children's peer problems
and prosocial behavior, and that parental emotional warmth and negative communication
with children mediate this association. are investigating whether Fixed effects regression
and mediation analysis using data from a total of 1,157 children (4,016 observations)
from her 7 years to her 16 years from waves 8 to 12 of the German Family Panel was
executed. The analysis found that increased parental conflict was closely associated with
decreased parental emotional warmth and increased negative communication, and
increased peer problems and decreased prosocial behavior in children. was shown. The
findings also suggest that the association between parental conflict and children's social
well-being via maternal and paternal parenting behaviors reduces children's social well-
being.

In this study, we analyzed data from the German interdisciplinary panel Analyzing
Intimacy and Family Dynamics (pairfam). This project is funded by the German
Research Foundation (DFG). The pairfam was characterized by a multi-subject, multi-
cohort design (1971-1973, 1981-1983, and 1991-93), which allowed investigation of
intergenerational transmission processes and intergenerational relationships. (Huinink et
al., 2011). Pairfam first collected a representative sample of approximately 12,000 main
respondents (so-called anchor persons) from three birth cohorts, and the main
respondents who had lived in pairfam households since the second wave with their
current partner. We also took into account data on minor children of from now on. All
children between the ages of 7 and 16 who live in households covered by the PairFam
Survey are invited to participate in the PairFam Survey after the anchor person (mother or
father) consents to the child's participation. Children voluntarily complete a 15-minute
computer-assisted paper interview and a self-administered computer-assisted self-
interview section containing sensitive questions, such as those related to parental conflict
(Brüderl et al., 2017). ). For participating in the interview, children are given a small gift
worth €5 (Huinink et al., 2011). Adult questionnaires focused on family issues such as
partnership quality and conflictive behaviors, while children's questionnaires focused on
issues such as child well-being, family and school life, child discipline, and relationships
with mothers. It focuses on various sociological phenomena related to paternity, and
social relationships (Huinink et al., 2011).
 This study assessed the social well-being of children and adolescents using two
dimensions of the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) developed by Goodman
(1997). Overall, SDQ covers his five different areas of child welfare and development.

Behavioral problems, emotional problems, hyperactivity, peer problems, prosocial

behavior. Each domain is captured by its five elements. Ask the child or young person,
regardless of age, to answer the same question on her 3-point scale from 0 "disagree" to 2
"strongly agree." Pairfam's data includes the German version of his SDQ. His SDQ
questionnaire in Germany has been evaluated and validated several times since it was
first translated in 1997 (Klasen et al., 2000). There is a children's version of this
questionnaire, with the wording of each item specifically tailored to children's needs to
ensure proper comprehension and provide a measure of psychological traits that can be
used in research ( Youth in Mind, 2012). Because this study focuses on children's social
well-being, we used the SDQ domains Prosocial Behavior and Peer Problems. Measures
of prosocial behavior (α = 0.70) included ``I am kind to younger children,'' ``I usually
share with others (e.g., candies, games, markers),'' I'm trying to get along with other
people" was included. "I care about their feelings." "I help when someone is hurt, upset,
or sick." "I help others (parents, teachers, children) a lot." "I offer."

In this study, Grych et al. developed and validated measures for recognizing parent-child
conflict in children. (1992) On the evaluation of parent-child confrontational behavior.
This item includes objective characteristics and evaluation factors of parent-child conflict.
The German version used in this study has been translated and summarized, showing
excellent reliability and relevance to the German context (Gödde & Walper, 2001). The
original scale consists of three different aspects of her for measuring ongoing conflict:
children as actors of conflict and children as mediators. At PairFam, we only offer
products that measure the primary dimensions.

This study explores two different parenting behaviors of mothers and fathers. Emotional
warmth and negative communication. First, emotional warmth (α = 0.78) contains three
components representing levels of positive attention and care (Jaursch, 2003). Children
and adolescents were asked to rate the statements on a scale of 1 (not at all) to 5 (very
often). The elements that express the emotional warmth of motherhood and fatherhood
are formulated as follows.

``How often does your mother/father show that she likes you?'', ``How often
does your mother/father try to cheer you up when you are sad?'', ``You How often does
your mom/dad compliment you?". The honesty of mothers and fathers is judged
separately by children. We averaged the rows of measurements, with higher values
​ ​ on the scale indicating higher prevalence of maternal and paternal warmth.
