Monoparentalidade feminina e vínculos afetivos construídos na primeira infância.

Abstract

This article's main purpose is to discuss female single parenthood and its consequences, carrying out a historical review of family models and discussing family reconfigurations, with the main objective of understanding how the dynamics are constructed in the creation of emotional bonds in early childhood in a context in which there is only the presence of the mother and child(ren). This bibliographical research, with a qualitative nature, was carried out through a search on digital platforms: Electronic Journals of Psychology (PEPSIC), Scientific Electronic Library (SCIELO) and Google Scholar. With regard to theoretical support, this investigation deals, especially, with the concepts of family, female single parenthood and emotional bonds. Furthermore, it includes reflections on the double working day that these women may face and on the marks of patriarchy still present today. As the main conclusions raised by the research, we can point out that female single parenthood is an increasingly present reality in society and that the vast majority of women who experience this situation face several obstacles - such as the lack of public policies and prejudice, for example - in the process of building emotional bonds with their children. Keywords: Female single parenthood. Family. Building bonds. Early Childhood.
