单亲家庭孩子成绩为何不好

Children struggle with maths and making friends when their parents divorce, a study has found. They often fall behind classmates whose parents stay married, suffering from anxiety, loneliness and feeling sad – and may never catch up academically. Contrary to some previous research, children through primary school did not show any negative effects before the parents decided to split, the U.S. study found. 大明星结婚潮一浪盖过一浪，比如：大S、孙燕姿；离婚风波也闹得家喻户晓：比如这两天才曝光的谢霆锋与张柏芝。就在这个“家丑不得不外扬”的年代里，人们似乎忽视了离婚对于孩子们的影响，六一儿童节刚刚过去，我们是不是该反思一下我们究竟带给我们的孩子什么呢？据悉，有研究称在父母离婚环境中长大的孩子，学习数学能力与交友能力与同龄人（家庭和睦、父母恩爱）相比都差好多，因为他们处在焦虑、孤单甚至抑郁的状态中，根本就不用谈什么学习了。据悉，这项研究驳斥了之前关于处在小学阶段的孩子在父母离异的状况下不会有“悲观思想”的理论。

But as soon as the divorce process started, the children suffered a range of problems that persisted, a report in the American Sociological Review said.Thefive-year study compared emotional and academic development of children of divorce with those whose parents stayed together, by following 3,585 children from around the age of four.‘Children of divorce experience setbacks in maths test scores and show problems with interpersonal skills and internalising behaviour,’ lead researcher Hyun Sik Kim, of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said.

根据美国威斯康辛大学的研究员Hyun Sik Kim 的研究发现，年龄段在4岁左右共3千5百多名“离异”儿童为期5年的研究后发现，在一个父母离异状态家庭中成长的孩子学习能力会变差。

‘They are more prone to feelings of anxiety, loneliness, low self-esteem and sadness.’This stabilised after the divorce, he said, ‘but the children remain behindtheir peers from intact families’. An unstable living situation in which children are shuttled between parents can also disrupt social networks, he said. Other problems include

economic hardship due to a sudden drop in family income or a parent suffering depression as a result of the divorce.

美国威斯康辛大学的研究员 Hyun Sik Kim说：“爸爸妈妈感情不合对孩子造成的负面影响不容忽视，他们会产生焦虑感、孤独感甚至自尊心都会大大降低。过者还会萌发抑郁的情绪。”此外，父母在家庭中的争吵也会影响孩子们的社交生活，还有，家庭经济的突然变动孩子们的心理状态会产生不良的影响。
