The family, which consists of parents and children, is very important for human life. Starting from loving and loving the child who comes from within a family in the world develops a healthy personality in accordance with the needs of his/her physical, mental and mental needs and obtains the most comprehensive information about the society to live in. The child, who has completed the socialization and education process with the help and contributions of the parents, gains a successful social life. A child observes a family communication based on mutual love, respect, sharing and solidarity, has a better relationship with the people around him (Şentürk, 2012). Family is a great institution and parenting is its pillar. However, with time there have huge observations that single parenting is mostly practiced and one individual parent is accountable of nurturing of children. Due to multiple reasons both spouses are unable to practice the same responsibilities together. It seems very strong but has ultimate consequences on children (Ali & Soomar, 2019).
