Nowadays, faced with spatial, economic and environmental constraints, kinship relationships are transforming; is parenthood still experienced in the same way ? Sprawling, unlimited? The answer is that we are now seeing a restriction of the space of parenthood and a segmentation of community groups. From this point of view, parenthood is seen as a code of conduct, interpersonal skills and know-how which are expressed throughout daily situations in words, actions, sharing, emotions and pleasures, in recognition of the child., but also, in authority, requirement, coherence and continuity. The objective of this article is to analyze the influence of parents’ words on the psychological balance of children from single-parent families in Benin. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study with an inductive aim. Individual interviews were carried out with the children, parents and resource persons on the basis of questionnaires relating to the influence of speech. Analysis of the data reveals that many children from single-parent families cannot stand being teased by their parent (19.62%). The child lacking affection or emotional rejection (18.35%). It is in the same wake that bad words (17.02%), comparisons (14.55%), unpleasant labels (12.02%), stigmatization (9.49%) and bad appreciations (6.96%). Thus, this study shows that children are influenced in their development by the words of their parent. So, by favoring kind words, appreciations, dialogue, communication, they will be able to contribute to the development and well-being of their children.

Abstract
Nowadays, faced with spatial, economic and environmental constraints, kinship relationships are transforming; is parenthood still experienced in the same way ? Sprawling, unlimited? The answer is that we are now seeing a restriction of the space of parenthood and a segmentation of community groups. From this point of view, parenthood is seen as a code of conduct, interpersonal skills and know-how which are expressed throughout daily situations in words, actions, sharing, emotions and pleasures, in recognition of the child., but also, in authority, requirement, coherence and continuity. The objective of this article is to analyze the influence of parents’ words on the psychological balance of children from single-parent families in Benin. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study with an inductive aim. Individual interviews were carried out with the children, parents and resource persons on the basis of questionnaires relating to the influence of speech. Analysis of the data reveals that many children from single-parent families cannot stand being teased by their parent (19.62%). The child lacking affection or emotional rejection (18.35%). It is in the same wake that bad words (17.02%), comparisons (14.55%), unpleasant labels (12.02%), stigmatization (9.49%) and bad appreciations (6.96%). Thus, this study shows that children are influenced in their development by the words of their parent. So, by favoring kind words, appreciations, dialogue, communication, they will be able to contribute to the development and well-being of their children.

Abstract: (french)
De nos jours, face aux contraintes spatiales, économiques et environnementales, les relations de parenté se transforment, la parentalité est-elle toujours vécue comme de la même manière ? Tentaculaire, illimitée ? La réponse est que l’on note désormais une restriction de l’espace de la parentalité et une segmentation des groupes communautaires. De ce point de vue, la parentalité se perçoit comme un code de conduite, de savoir-être et de savoir-faire qui se déclinent au fil des situations quotidiennes en paroles, actes, partage, émotions et plaisirs, en reconnaissance de l’enfant, mais également, en autorité, exigence, cohérence et continuité. L’objectif de cet article est d’analyser l’influence de la parole des parents dans l’équilibre psychique des enfants de famille monoparentale au Bénin. Il s’agit d’une étude transversale descriptive à visée inductive. Des entretiens individuels ont été effectués avec les enfants, les parents les personnes ressources sur la base de questionnaires relatifs à l’influence de la parole. L’analyse des données révèle que beaucoup d’enfants de famille monoparentale ne supporte pas les moqueries de leur parent (19,62%). L’enfant en manque d’affection ou de rejet affectif (18,35%). C’est dans le même sillage que se situent les mauvaises paroles (17,02%), les comparaisons (14,55%), les étiquettes désagréables (12,02%), les stigmatisations (9,49%) et les mauvaises appréciations (6,96%). Ainsi, cette étude montre que les enfants sont influencés dans leur développement par les propos de leur parent. Ainsi en privilégiant les propos bienveillants, les appréciations, le dialogue, la communication, ils pourront contribuer à l’épanouissement et au bien-être de leurs enfants.
