How can I make notes with bullet points in this paragraph? Parenting Alone Another major change in families is that more mothers are going it alone. They are having babies without a husband or they are finding themselves alone after a divorce. In contrast to 1960 when 8 percent of children lived in single-mother families, 23 percent were in single-mother families in 2015 (Child Trends, 2015). What are the effects of growing up in these single-mother families? In general, the children have more difficulties developmentally than children in two-parent families (Bornstein, 2015; Child Trends, 2015). In a national study in Canada, Ellen Lipman and her colleagues (2002) found that 6- to 11-year-old children from single-mother families had more social and psychological problems than children from two-parent families. In a national study in the United States, researchers similarly found that preschool children in single-mother families were less securely attached to their mothers and behaved more negatively with them than children in two-parent families (Clarke-Stewart et al., 2000).
