Surviving as a Single Parent

Even if you do not have a lot of money, you do have your child and your love and your time to give to him or her. Try to remember that monetary wealth and material possessions are not the most important items in your child's life.

Your love, support and time together mean much more to them. You can have fun for free. Activities like—going for a walk or a bike ride, playing at the park, coloring, painting, singing, or dancing—will thrill your child just as much as spending money to go to an amusement park, an arcade or a toy store.
