Single Parenting Challenges and the Secrets to Empowering your Children after divorce


Single Parenting Secrets Revealed Once and For ALL

Discover how, as a single parent you can inspire and empower your children to live with more self-confidence

 

Eliminate the feelings of self-doubt, insecurity and limiting beliefs that hold your children prisoner within themselves.  Discover how to implement skills that will develop opportunities attracting better health, happiness and prosperity for the future of your family.

  1. Never discuss faults of the other parent near or to your children.  They will figure it all out with their own perspective in due time.

  2. Keep your life as routine as possible to create stability for your children after divorce.

  3. Allow open lines of communication for your children with both parents, unless there are legal reasons not to do so.

  4. Be involved in your child’s daily life, know the teachers, fellow students, friends and parents of friends and show interest in everything they do.  Keep a current list of phone numbers and know where your child is at all times.  This information could prove invaluable in any case of emergency.

  5. Consistently set aside specific private time to discuss the daily activities, success and worries of each child to allow them to feel “they matter”.  Always end any conversation on a positive note, with appreciation no matter how small the success.

  6. Help your child start a diary, or journal to express their feelings.  Never invade this privacy but allow open communication without criticism so they feel comfortable coming to YOU with concerns or problems.

  7. Regularly discuss progress with teachers, counselors or mentors.  It is much easier to have this as a routine and expected rather than wait until a situation arises and your child feels you are prying or don’t trust them.  This is your right to parenting and show them you care about their welfare.

  8. Don’t ignore signals that intuitively set of warning bells for you, as a parent.  Listen to your intuition and act upon it in whatever way you feel necessary, without blame or criticism.  Find positive solutions and teach your children how to resolve problems.

  9. Get professional help when needed.  There are some excellent resources on my “Resource Page”.  Single parenting can be over whelming and you do not need to feel alone.  Ask for guidance and support, and be gentle on yourself.  Take time for YOU.  You matter too.

  10. Express your love often, find ways that say “I love you” that allow your children to feel confident.  Laugh and enjoy life.  Prioritize and organize to allow more time for fun.  Time together doing productive things which create memories are much more valuable than materialistic “things”.  Your children need you and you need them, be there for them.  Create rules together that are realistic and can be followed.  Share the burden of work to have more time together.
