What?! You gave your 8-year old an iPad!? In the age of screens...let's explore what "good" might look like for single parents and their kids

Here's the headline:  Darrell gave his 8 year old daughter an iPad for her birthday.  It ended up being a great conversation and we wanted to dig into this a bit.   In an age when the television can be a babysitter, and so can technology, how do we set our families up to win in this area, especially with society and schools moving faster and faster toward online teaching and learning?  Not to mention the social pressures presented by social media as well.  Then there is the need for effective communication as well.

We found a great article online that gives some great input on what to look out for when too much tech starts to affect your children or teens.   It also gave some smart starting points on how to approach and model a balanced approach in our homes.   We hope you all find it helpful for you and your family too!

Single Parent Advocate is dedicated to equip, empower, and encourage single parent families such that those that need help, get help, and those who want to help, can.

Over 1 in 4 children in America today reside in a single parent household. That accounts for a large population of single parents that are working hard to navigate the journey of parenting alone. Many of those struggle at work and home. The majority hang in the gap between poverty and self sufficiency.

Single Parent families are all very different, and most of these parents face internal and external forces that cause them to struggle as they raise their children alone. Being a parent is often hard and being a single parent can be even harder without support.

Single Parent Advocate wants to help empower and partner with single parents on their parenting journey. Single Parent Advocate is dedicated to equip, empower, and encourage single parent families such that those that need help, get help, and those who want to help, can. 

Thank you for being a part of our single parent family community!
