It is the kids who are going to be affected first due to dating of a single parent. Kids might feel abandoned or neglected. According to a research conducted by John Hopkins University, children can easily get affected emotionally and psychologically due to abrupt and unexpected changes in life such as disruptions in family structure, going through the ordeals of divorce, living with a single parent, moving to different cities and changing schools. New dating partners for their divorced parents could be just another blow to them. While these effects can have a negative impact on certain kids, it can also have the opposite effect on others. It all depends on how well single parents coordinate their responsibilities towards the kids and their dating.
Single parents can assess the reaction of the kids by keeping an open communication with them. It is not proper to impose the decision on the kids. Children just look for a secure attachment in a parent. They just do not accept to share their parents love with anybody. Hence, it is responsibility to let the kid understand that he is the most important person to the parent. Parents can also seek the help of well-wishers, pastors, counselors, friends, relatives and even neighbors in order to make the child understand.
