Abstract
The study sets out to investigate the psychological effects of single parenting on children. It examined the causes of single parenting and social work interventions to ameliorate the living standards of children who have been affected negatively. Existing literature on single parenting and it's psychological effects on children are mostly linked to the
individualistic perception of a phenomenon without considering the outcome and psychological, and social imbalance in children. A structured questionnaire was
administered in the secondary school in the Olomoro community based on access to road and the population available in the area. The sample size of the study consisted of 218 students through stratified proportionate sampling technique. Evidence from the findings shows that single parents and their children are faced with economic, emotional, social, and psychological problems, which makes it difficult to meet basic needs and personal expenses. Recommendations were made based on the findings which can have a positive ripple effect on not only the single parents but the children, society, and the nation at large.
