If you’re a single parent, you know just how tough it can be. You end up stretched so thin that you’ve got no room to breathe. Here are a few ideas to help you negotiate single parenthood successfully.

Be positive

A positive attitude is contagious, so if you radiate positivity (most of the time), it will help your kids become more resilient.

One habit of successful single parents is to journal every day. When you look back on what you’ve written, you will be able to pinpoint the challenges you face, and start to develop solutions.

Schedule regular ‘me’ time

It is imperative that you make regular time for yourself to allow you to recuperate. Start off by earmarking two dates over the next month.

Get a babysitter or ask a friend to look after the kids, and plan what you want to do on your “date.”

Enlist support

As a single parent, having a support system is vital. Look for online single parents groups, local single parents, and local family and friends for support. You can help each other with lift club and with solving common everyday problems.

Co-parenting is hard but it increases the chance for your child(ren) to have a much happier and secure life. Divorce and separation doesn’t have to be painful experience for your child and that accountability is in your hands. It is important for parents to remember that formation of a positive parent-child relationship is a lifelong process. The key to a successful parent-child relationship is the quality of time, rather than the quantity of time, spent together.
