A parent pay more attention to children and being more patient on them. Aside from the ones mentioned, single parenting could be more smooth-sailing if a parent: - shows that he or she has enough time to tend to whatever the child needs, asks or demands. Experts agree that single parents that show that they have enough time to answer the inquisitions and grant the requests of children are more likely to have kids that are less insecure. It is like having a second family, with people that you can depend on for help. Have a strong and close relationship with your child Your child is your partner now. He or she is the only person that you can depend on, the same way that you are the only one he or she can depend on. Establish a close and loving relationship with your child while he or she is still young. These would include their different personalities, upbringing of their respective families, and also of their ways in managing stress brought by the failure of the marriage. Although separation may indeed affect people in raising their kids and to want more things in their lives, this should not be enough reason just to let the chance of living a better life go. This separation has paved the way for more and more adults to raise their kids through single parenting. Ideally, raising a child should involve the mother and the father since they could attend to the different needs of the child. But when there is no way to mend the failing relationship, it would be best to opt for single parenting than to sacrifice not only one's emotional health but of the child as well. You do not spend the nights with your girlfriends partying when you should be at home with your child. As painful as this sounds, you lost the right to act single when you got pregnant and bore a child. Single parents should only date when they met somebody by chance and felt in their gut that they can be serious with that person or when the person is recommended by a friend and therefore, a date that is already filtered. When they are toddlers, they will need to attend play school and have books that will start off their learning. And if you are basically raising your child alone without any support from your parents or from anyone, you will probably also need babysitters while you which can cost a fortune when you rack all the amounts.
