Answers to Questions Unique to Single Parenting

Whether you have always been a single parent, or lost a spouse to death or divorce, the stress of raising healthy, well-adjusted children while trying to make ends meet can feel overwhelming at times. Where can a single parent get some help?

Syndicated radio host Stephen Arterburn has spent years fielding those types of questions on his show, so he teamed up with a board member of New Life Live!--trained clinician and successful single parent of now-adult children Stacey Sadler--to put the answers into the pages of this book. Some of the many topics covered are:

*How to manage your emotions well

*How to let your kids be kids

*How to trust God to be your co-parent

*How to grow comfortable with and receive more practical help from others in your community

*Rejecting a mindset of victimhood and embracing thankfulness

*Knowing if you're ready to date--and how to handle that with your kids

Indeed, you were not designed to shoulder the load of parenting your children all by yourself--but that doesn't mean you can't succeed at it. Understanding and Loving Your Child as a Single Parent will provide the tools you need not only to survive this challenge, but to thrive within it--and set your child up for a successful life, too.
