Raising a child alone -- whether you are a father or mother --
can be the most trying experience in anyone's life. Learning to
handle all the many duties that two people would normally deal with
and adjusting to the overwhelming demands of a child on a daily
basis is a trying experience. Yet, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated
in 2006 that more than 12.9 million single parents raise their
children alone. While a small percentage of that was single fathers
(2.5 million), the hard reality of raising a child alone remains
the same for either parent.Through hours of meticulous research and
interviews, this book was compiled to show exactly how a single
father can raise a child alone to be happy and healthy without the
help of a second parent. You will learn, as a single father, how to
reassure your children and maintain the feeling of a family. You
will learn how to help them feel better regardless of whether you
are a single father through death or divorce. You will learn how to
treat your children and how to communicate with them. The basics of
discipline and rules will be outlined for a single-parent
household, along with tips on how you can have fun with your
children the right and healthy way. You will learn the differences
between having daughters versus sons as a father, and how to handle
the myriad issues that the mother would normally handle.Dozens of
hours of interviews with experts in child psychology and child
raising were conducted, and have been included in this book to
provide a complete outline of what you can expect throughout
raising your children. You will learn how to turn your house into a
home, divvying up space, having pets, and how to handle chores. You
will learn how to find reliable child care and how to juggle your
time among your work, your children, and yourself. You will learn
how to deal with school and ensure that your children get the
attention they need to succeed. The basics of cooking and health
care for children and how to handle their emotional issues as they
grow older will all be outlined for you. For every father alone for
the first time or unsure of how to raise a child alone, this book
will provide the detailed instruction you need to be the best
possible single father.
