Single parents enjoy adult-level conversation, support, and companionship.
Grandparents are provided with in-flight refueling for the second time around. Parents and guardians are given the opportunity to regroup after their kids have brought the worst out of them. Parents and guardians learn to cope with their frustration, fear, guilt, embarrassment, disappointment, and grudges. By coping, they can provide their children with a revitalized Christian witness and a favorable home environment in which to improve. Parents and guardians achieve balance between the extremes of being too rigid or too permissive.
