Living alone after experiencing failure in a family may not make it a big problem when we are still taking care of ourselves. But this will become quite a complicated problem when we are no longer alone, because it is accompanied by the presence of the baby.
Becoming a successful single parent can actually be considered tricky. If our son was a grown man when we got divorced, it probably wouldn't be too difficult to explain to him everything that happened.
But for those of us who have children who are still young, it might create a new problem that cannot be taken lightly.
Actually this will be very difficult when we have just become a single parent. Because if we are used to living it, of course we will have various tricks and ways so that we can be successful as a mother and father for our beloved baby.

Here are some tips for success as a single parent
1. Adjustments
If someone says being a single parent is easy, I think it's all a lie. Because in reality sometimes in our family we get quite complicated problems. If we usually solve problems with our life partner now we have to be able to bear it alone.
For that we must immediately adapt to the current situation. If we usually have a place to go, now we have to be able to solve the problem ourselves. If previously we were super busy career women, then we must be able to balance it with the right steps to divide time between work and the baby.
2. Make sure our children have friends
Don't curb the child's life too much, and assume we are able to be both parents and friends to our children. If we maintain it, our child will become a private person who is closed and unable to socialize.
Let the children do activities outside with their community but of course under intensive supervision.
3. Ensure the comfort of the child's heart
If previously we were an authoritarian mother or father, then throw that thing away. Don't let our children feel uncomfortable with the new environment. Give him more time, so that our children will not feel lonely when they are not with their friends
. 4. Make children respect us
Being a mother and father in a family is indeed not an easy matter, especially in terms of educating and raising children. Many single parents experience difficulties in educating children, both in terms of manners and discipline.
This is a challenge that may be quite difficult for you, but slowly giving them the understanding that you have to work hard alone for them is something you must be able to convey gently from heart to heart. Thus, they will be able to respect and appreciate all the effort and hard work that you have put in for them.
5. Involve the role of the family
In this case it is our family, if we still have parents, then there is nothing wrong with asking them to help in educating and raising our children.
If our siblings have children who are the same age as our children, of course this can make our children have good friends in a new family environment.
Even though the parents are incomplete, your child still has family and friends in his life. They are important people who stand by the child's side when they need help or need a friend. It is the feeling of loneliness that sometimes makes them wild or arrogant. For this reason, convince the children that even under these conditions, the love they will get will still be the same.
