      DEDICATION.

      This book is specially dedicated to all single parents and children from single parent home.

      1.   Single Parenting – An Introduction.

      Single parenting means one adult either man or woman raising a child or children alone without the assistance of another adult at home.

      SKU-000534978_TEXT.pdf

      The accurate language to use for people raising children alone and people raising children with their partner has been a controversial issue especially in research. The languages used in describing different families vary, for single parents, we have ‘sole-parent’, ‘lone-mother’, ‘lone-father’; ‘absent-parent’ used for the parent that is not with the children; ‘custodian-parents’ used for the parent in custody of the children ‘non-resident father’ used for the father that is not living with the family; ‘co-parent’ and ‘intact-home’ used for home with both biological parents living together; ‘non-custodian parent’ used for the parent that is not in custody of the children; ‘in and out parent’ and ‘near and far parent’ are also used for separated couple; ‘motherless family’ used for families without the mother; ‘fatherless family’ used for families without father; ‘shared-parenting’ used for separated or divorced couple that their children spend a particular time with the parent they are not living with as agreed by both couple; ‘blended family’ used for family that consists both biological and step children of one or both couple living together.

      Single parenthood is wide in the sense that there are circumstances that are not by choice that can lead to single parenting. Single parents are always seen in the negative side but the issue is that circumstances beyond someone’s control can lead to it. Single parenting can be by choice or by chance. An example of single parenthood by choice is divorce and adoption where a woman decides not to marry and adopt one or more children. An example of single parenthood by chance is widowhood. Widowhood is something no normal person will pray for but once it comes, the person has to bear the load of two alone. Another example of single parenting by chance is desertion in which a woman is pregnant in a marriage/relationship and the man runs away from home without the awareness of the woman or they already have children and the man runs away from home. Some other category of single parenting may fall on either choice or chance. An example of single
