Understanding and Loving Your Child as a Single Parent

Twenty-first century how-to advice that embraces and celebrates the role of the single parent and the children those parents love, from the author of the internationally best-selling Understanding Your Child series, and host of New Life Live!, the nation's number one Christian call-in counseling show.

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.
