The Single Parenting Handbook


Book Description

Teamwork is essential when it comes to the task of raising children. It is said that teamwork is made much easier when the two parents are together and living under the same roof, as each can take turns with the responsibilities that go along with child-rearing while giving the other a chance to take a short break in the interim. On the other hand, there is that group of single parents who do not have the luxury of relying on one another when it comes to the grind of daily life with the children. As the divorce rate continues its upward climb, single-parent families are seemingly becoming the norm. As a matter of fact, single parenting statistics cite that approximately 13.6 million adults in the United States are presently raising their minor children in the one-parent environment. In many instances, the occurrence of raising a child as a single parent is the outcome of a divorce in the family. As a result, the number of single father parenting households is on the rise. Regardless, it is comforting to know that if a child must be brought up in a single parent home, he still has just as much a chance of successfully thriving in his future life as a child who has both of his parents together on a daily basis.Book Content Includes: Chapter

Adventures in Single Parenting


Book Description

Single parenting is one of the most difficult challenges we can face in life. Certainly, it is an Adventure hence the title, “Adventures in Single Parenting”. This is the book I wish I could have read before the kids moved in. I was, and still am, a member of that rare breed: the single father. When I started writing about our adventures, I thought it was going to be about single fathering. I originally intended it to be a book for men who were single parents. As I thought about it and wrote about single fathering, I realized that most of my experiences were similar to the experiences of my lady friends who were also single parents. I came to understand that this was not just about single fathering but also about single mothering. That's when I realized that there is very little distinction between single fathering and single mothering. In fact, the single parent is both the mommy and the daddy all rolled up into one. I hope you get as much out of this book as I put into it. As always, my wish for you is that your children grow up happy, healthy and are positive contributors to society. If you only find one nugget of wisdom in these pages to help you and your children grow together, I will have succeeded. If the book helps immensely, I will have succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.
