What Do You Wanna Know?
The Transition And New Circumstance

The transition and new circumstance - journeying down the path of the single parent.

You are also growing and changing throughout this process. You will realize it, your kids will know and see it, as will others. This is another change you and everyone around you have to deal with as well, on top of everything else.

You might also feel anxious, lonely, and angry or evoke these emotions in your child/family. Again this is quite normal and natural behavior.

Seeing things from the child's point of view.

This is not only all about you either. Try and see things through the eyes of your child sometime and whole new worlds of understanding and possibilities will open for you.

Case, Type Of Questions?

Settling In As Individuals And A New Family Unit

Challenges:

There are so many, that it is probably possible to write one whole book on this topic alone. We are opting to take... a little less 'negative' approach to this. Rather focusing on the process and outcome and not the surrounding, complexities and factors, uphill battles and obstacles some and all of us might specifically face. Here are some examples:

Getting everything done, on time, being where you need to be, do what you have to do and stay sane through it all.

Finding the financial means (food, boarding/housing, transportation, clothing and providing necessities of life, safe place to stay, live and play) baby-sitting and daycare, employment and income, support and other family-related challenges.

Emotionally supporting your kids, while and despite your world crumpling before your eyes. Being and providing the stability although you do not feel you can or have it in you.

Coping with loss and change and the new roles and responsibilities of being a sole custodian and major care-giver, provider and head of the family.

Rewards: Life does go on! You can do it!

Together with your kids you are embarking on reclaiming and building your life together. You are embracing your future with a positive attitude, hope and a plan of action.

Renewed connection, deepening love and caring relationship with your kids.

Bedroom Furniture


My husband and I have decided that we are going to redecorate our bedroom area. We moved into our home three years ago and have given the rest of the house new coats of paints and window treatments. We decided that it was time to tackle our room. We have had the same bedroom furniture since we were married.

Tips

Building Your Abdominal Muscles

Lots of people think that the best way to build their abdominal muscles fast is to work them out each day. However, this is actually untrue, since you should also let them get enough rest. If you want to achieve better abs in less time, then you should just work them out for about 2 to 3 times in a week.

Helping Your Kids Get
More Physical Activity


As a parent, it's essential that you help your child to develop healthy habits that lead to lifelong fitness. It's important that you work to help your child build physical activity into their day. However, it's not a good idea to try to force your family to start a boot camp style physical fitness routine.

With a few simple activities, you can boost your child's physical activity and have him looking forward to the time when he gets his body moving. Start by finding an activity that your child likes.

How To Live On A Budget


You need to keep track of everything you spend and go over your receipts and bills carefully. If you are having a hard time with keeping your paperwork, you should try online banking. Go over your bills and receipts to get a better idea of where your money goes. Look for expenses that can be reduced or avoided. You can consider quitting smoking or buying more affordable foods. If your bills are too high, try saving some energy by improving your insulation and shutting off the appliances you're not currently using.

Focus On The Dance
Of Life

Life is ever-changing and ever adapting. Sometimes we all get bogged down in our day to day and forget to take time out for ourselves. It is beneficial to take at least some time each day to work on personal growth and healing. Spending time working on personal growth in some way will make you more aware of the ups and downs of your life and give you tools for dealing with whatever comes your way throughout your life.

We Live In A System Of Beliefs


The following article about beliefs is just an expression of my thoughts. It is certainly not definitive.

In my opinion, we live our life on the basis of beliefs. We, literally live in a huge belief system. So seamlessly integrated (into our world) are some beliefs that most people assume that they are natural and accepted them without questioning.
