Effects of Single Parenting



The effects of single parenting may be felt even before your spouse moves out and the divorce papers drawn up. Do you feel...

  • all your energy is being spent to survive emotionally and you don't have any "fight" left for discipline?

  • afraid your firm and consistent rules will lead your children to reject you and tell you they want to live with the other parent?

  • justified in relaxing rules as a way to make up for the unhappy family times your children had to endure?

  • you are working more so your children have more time without supervision?

    • If you answered yes to any of these questions...

    It is time to get your parenting skills back on track!

    I know the effects of single parenting can be overwhelming, especially if you feel your children are becoming difficult to manage. But in reality, children want and need their parents to set firm and consistent rules, especially when so much in their life is changing.

    My name is Melanie Cohn and I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in parenting and divorce. I can help you eliminate your children's difficult behaviors and get your discipline skills back on track.
