Abstract

The growth and development of children in the process of being cared for by complete parents and single parents will have different impacts. The role of parents in raising children does not always depend on the parents’ status (complete or single), but rather on how they interact with their children. Study of the resilience of children who grow up with single parents in the context of symbolic interactionism, how these interactions influence their understanding of themselves and their family situation. How to interpret the role of a single parent, how resilient teenagers live with a single parent and how single parents support and develop children's resilience. Symbolic interactions can help understand how adolescents who do not have a father/mother construct meaning regarding the role of one of them, including symbols such as words, actions or symbols in their lives. This research is qualitative research with a case study approach. Data validity is carried out to explain the data using source triangulation. Single parents are also role models for their children. The way mothers deal with stress, resolve conflicts, and pursue life goals can influence how children learn to deal with challenges and uncertainty.
