As any of America's eight million single moms and 2.2 million single dads will attest, raising a child on your own presents a unique set of challenges. Co-written by a psychotherapist who specializes in single parenting issues, this friendly, commonsense guide walks people through the whole range of solo parenting concerns - coping with children's emotional issues, managing a household on a smaller income, arranging for competent child care, spending quality time with children, finding support groups, and more - and shows them not only how to survive, but thrive. The book also offers advice on how to deal with ex'es and shared custody issues as well as on how to approach dating, remarriage, and blended families. Single parent households continue to multiply - they grew five times faster in the 1990s than two-parent households.
