The Influence of Family Structures on Child Development: An Interdisciplinary Approach

Abstract

This interdisciplinary study explores the influence of family structures on child development. Drawing from psychology, sociology, and developmental science, we investigate how various family arrangements impact children's cognitive, social, and emotional growth. Through a comprehensive review of literature and empirical evidence, we elucidate the nuanced interactions between family dynamics and child development. Our analysis highlights the significance of familial relationships, parenting styles, and household composition in shaping children's outcomes across different stages of development.
