This workshop will discuss setting priorities, avoiding super- parenting, and establishing goals, by offering hope rather than guilt. Establishing values in relationships, although it is no easy task, will be discussed. It is similar to watching a clown at a circus running back and forth spinning plates on long poles. For single parents, each plate represents something they must accomplish alone. A single parent cannot be both Mom AND Dad.
Life is a slippery slope.
No one ever arrives, and single parents need to hear this. Often the divorcing process and single parenting create multiple losses. To be given permission through TIME to grieve these losses is a precious gift to give to single parents. Discussion of the single parent grieving process and building friendships will be addressed. Gender roles play a significant part in all families.
