Abstract
Broken families are the one where the parents have segregated or divorced.
The risk that children in blended or step families will be left behind, both
scholastically, and emotionally, is much greater than it is for children of
intact families. Parental remarriage has a detrimental effect on children.
According to many researchers step children would likely be exhibit mental,
emotional and interpersonal problems. The researcher practiced snowball
sampling in order to get through to their respondents. 170 children under the
age group 10 to 18 year and selected through simple probability sampling
with use of purposive and snowball sampling technique from four of the
secondary schools with the help of Questionnaire and Interview Schedule.
The study found the adverse effects of step/blended families on youngest and
middle age children that they in early age take more negative effects on them
and it ultimately effects on their schooling, grooming and socialization as
well. The study recommended that parents should pay attention and provide
emotional affection to their kids because whatever time they had to spend
enjoying has been passed. It’s the children’s who have to grow up and suffer.
