Single & Parenting
...Help and hope for single parenting.
The Single & Parenting Experience from Church Initiative on Vimeo.
Discover the three components that will shape your Single & Parenting experience.
Other people don't truly understand how tough it is to be a single parent--day after day after day. Sometimes you want to give up. That's a normal reaction--you're doing the job of two people. You should be tired.
The thing is, you deeply desire to do what's best for your kids, but you worry that you can't. Sometimes it's all you can do to survive from one day to the next.
So what can you do?
Single & Parenting groups address these concerns. You'll discover how to deal with your deep-down worries and your day-to-day struggles. You'll also be able to participate in monthly single parent activities.
At a weekly Single & Parenting group, you'll meet with other single parents to learn and discuss some amazing parenting strategies and hope-filled insights. Each Single & Parenting session has three distinct elements:
1. Video Seminar
The videos are interesting and dynamic to watch, and filled with practical advice you can easily apply.
- Life-changing teaching from counselors and professionals who have been, or who work with, single parents
- Single parents who've faced parenting dilemmas and share the solutions they have found
- Demos on how to handle tough situations with your kids
2. Small Group Discussion
After viewing the video, you'll spend time in a s mall group and discuss the video concepts and how to apply them. Each group member will also have the opportunity to talk about what is going on in his or her life. It's encouraging to realize the tings you're facing as a single parent are normal and survivable!
3. Workbook-based Personal Application
Between sessions you'll have the chance to apply the strategies to your daily life. Short, daily workbook exercises help you adjust the tips to work for you. Whatever your struggles--kids, discipline, exhaustion, money, ex-partner, depression, anger--the workbook helps ou address the situation at its source.
