Background: Single-parent households are increasingly common, and their impact on children's development has been a subject of extensive research. While single parents often face unique challenges, including financial strain and increased household responsibilities, their children's academic outcomes are not universally negative. This study aims to investigate the relationship between study habits and academic performance in children from single-parent families. Method: A sample of 150 students from single-parent households studying in class X was recruited from various schools in Garo Hills region. Data were drawn by using scale on study habit and academic report card were used to generate data for the study. To accomplish this, the researchers employed survey method as a research design Results: No significant differences were found in overall study habits between children from single-parent and two-parent households. However, some specific study habits, such as time management and organizational skills, showed a trend towards being slightly lower in the single-parent group. No significant differences were found in overall academic performance between the two groups. Relationship between Study Habits and Academic Performance: Strong positive correlations were found between study habits and academic performance in both groups, indicating that effective study habits are crucial for academic success regardless of family structure.
