The Single Mom's Guide to Finding Joy in the Chaos

By Elsa Kok Colopy (Revell, 2006)

Being a single mom is “one of the hardest jobs on earth,” according to Elsa Kok Colopy. Whether you’re divorced, separated, or a widow, the challenges facing single moms are the same. They need practical advice, encouragement, and support as they weather the storms of single parenthood and try to maintain their own sanity.

The Single Mom’s Guide to Finding Joy in the Chaos provides advice on:

• Building your child’s self esteem and sense of belonging
• Encouraging a good father-child relationship in a co-parenting situation
• Getting creative about budgeting and paying off debt
• Using sibling rivalry to teach problem-solving skills
• Protecting your child when/if you enter into a dating relationship
• Standing firm in discipline
• Practicing forgiveness without enabling bad behavior

This is a quick, fairly easy read and includes additional expert resource recommendations.
