Review specific challenges for Mom’s and Dad’s.
For Moms:
Women: 85% of single parents with kids under 18 are mothers.
Biggest challenges:
• Supporting your family – may have to work longer, more jobs to
make ends meet
• Less time with your kids and kids may be left alone more than
before
• Kids may have less money than they were used to having
• Too much to do – you’re responsible for everything, getting kids
ready for school, meals, baths, homework, cleaning, etc.
• Being tired – physically and emotionally exhausted
• Tend to yell more at their kids
• Can feel burnout and depression as a single parent – find some
support
