Empowering the Single Parent

Finding ways to cope during the Coronavirus Pandemic.

A small perspective on how the Coronavirus is affecting how we function in our everyday lives from shopping to existing differently in our own space.

When making the decision to become a parent, you never think that your life will be completely dominated by child rearing. No more hanging out with the friends and no more extra spending money. Oh, well. Just know that it has all been replaced with warm hugs and unconditional love.

If you see something, say something. Please call the National Human Trafficking hotline at: 888-373-7888 or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at: 800-843-5678. Homeland Security also has a tip line that is available 24 hours/7 days a week with over 300 hundred languages available. That number is: 866-347-2423. 

We try so hard to protect our kids from the boogey-man, the dark, the cold, and the rain. What about the kid that's bullying them? What can we do to save our kids? Our babies are taking their own lives! First, we must truly understand what bullying is. Then, we can come together to create some ways to save our children.

Our kids come with different personalities and different ways that they should be loved. It is up to us to figure it all out.Having more than one child and parenting alone makes it a bit challenging; however, it can be done.

Being a real parent should not be when it is convenient for you. It has a 24 hour, 7 days a week requirement. Anyone can have a child and call themselves a parent. However, a real parent is someone who puts the needs of the child before their own selfish needs and wants. Let's replace that toxicity with true unconditional love and understanding.

God's love and blessings is available to everyone. This includes the children. Teach them about God's love and how important it is to have faith.

Societal views on race has gotten out of hand. Racism is seeping into the minds and hearts of our children. It is our job as parents to teach love and understanding. Not hate!

Child rearing is a difficult task to say the least. Incorporating time management tools such as schedules into your daily life can be utilized to decrease some of the chaos.
