Our kids come with different personalities and different ways that they should be loved. It is up to us to figure it all out.Having more than one child and parenting alone makes it a bit challenging; however, it can be done.

Being a real parent should not be when it is convenient for you. It has a 24 hour, 7 days a week requirement. Anyone can have a child and call themselves a parent. However, a real parent is someone who puts the needs of the child before their own selfish needs and wants. Let's replace that toxicity with true unconditional love and understanding.

God's love and blessings is available to everyone. This includes the children. Teach them about God's love and how important it is to have faith.

Societal views on race has gotten out of hand. Racism is seeping into the minds and hearts of our children. It is our job as parents to teach love and understanding. Not hate!

Child rearing is a difficult task to say the least. Incorporating time management tools such as schedules into your daily life can be utilized to decrease some of the chaos.

Just as knowing you are loved provides a sense of value for you. It does the same thing for the children. Let your children know that they are loved. Teach them that love is free and their first example of love came from their parent.

Many in our society have experienced financial instability. It just seems to hit a bit harder for single parents. Accepting your current situation as your truth is the first step in moving toward financial stability.
