Single Parenthood Challenges

A single parent goes through a variety of emotions.
They may experience stress stemming from the change
in their lifestyle post separation. It is a very natural way
of reacting to changes like reduced financial
resources, absence of a helping hand, not having time
for oneself etc.

Address your child’s questions
about a missing parent

Being truthful to the child while explaining the absence
of one parent is essential. However, being as honest as

is appropriate for the child’s age is very important.

Form a routine

Forming a routing of activities like meals, bed-time,
school, recreational activities etc.

Build a support group

Build a community of people who are there to cater to
your emotional needs when required.

Budget your expenses

Being the solo financial supporter, maintaining a
budget to keep a track of the expenses and savings

can help to a great extent.

Balance the time with the
kid and work

While work may not allow a lot of time, try to spend
quality time with your kid. Plan activities that both of

you look forward to.

While You’re Away

Having a proper plan for child care while you’re busy
working is very important.

Take care of yourself

Just like an airline safety video tells parents to put on
their oxygen mask before offering to a child, it’s true in

most aspects of life.

Accept and Believe
in yourself

In most cases your parental status may remain the
same and hence accepting it and planning life
accordingly is imperative.
