Choose an approach to caring for the child that is best for you.

In our experience we can say that the approach to caring for a child, which gives positive results for most single mothers in most cases, is an attachment based attachment. You may not be able to practice all the components of such care all the time, but try to apply as much as you can, as often as you can. This approach to the child is much harder to stick to solo, but also much more important. Without the help of a second parent, who could be shifted to

decision making, you need to have increased sensitivity to your child's behavior and better know your child's needs. Caring through attachment gives you the self-confidence necessary to make decisions, and makes you sufficiently knowledgeable and competent to implement these decisions. Read about the benefits of attachment in Article 1, and you will see how this approach to caring for the child will improve your child's behavior and facilitate your parental life.

Do not tear alone. If you are a single mother, this does not mean that you have to raise a child alone. You do not have to be supermatt - and do not have to be. Even families with two parents need help. Contact support groups, other single parents, relatives, taking care of anyone who can offer a pair of experienced and caring hands.

Leave time for an adult company. Realize that you have all the conditions to burn out. To make up for a child's shortage of a caring father, you can go into parenthood and fall into the trap "My child so needs me, that I do not have time for anything or anyone else."Your child needs a happy mother.

Single mothers most often

feel guilty and wondering if they do enough for their child, and also deceived and wonder if they get enough from life themselves. Do not forget, the parent is a profession with a sense of guilt, and even under the best of family circumstances, you never feel confident that you are always the best mom that you can be. Martha and I were both brought up by single mothers, having lost fathers in early childhood. I remember how the child was indignant at the fact that my mother had to work long hours to feed us, whereas the neighboring children had a completely different life. And still a child, and to this day, I not only felt loved, but I was sincerely convinced that my mother was doing everything possible under less than ideal circumstances. If you can give your child such feelings, you can be sure that as a single mother you have done everything possible.
