Hey incredible Single Parents Helping Single Parents community,

Navigating the world as a solo parent comes with its unique set of challenges. It also demands incredible strength. There’s resilience and unique triumphs as well. You’re building lives, raising amazing humans, and often doing it all with a fierce determination that inspires us daily.

That’s why we’re constantly looking for new ways to bring you value, encouragement, and practical insights. And we’ve got something exciting brewing for our podcast!

Real Stories, Real Inspiration

Our “Single Parents Helping Single Parents” podcast is all about creating a space where we can learn from each other. We hear from experts, share practical tips, and celebrate the everyday wins. But sometimes, the most impactful lessons come from those who’ve walked a similar path and found their own version of success.

We believe that “success” as a single parent comes in many forms. It’s not just about financial milestones (though those are great!). It’s about:

We’re inviting successful single parents to be featured guests on the “Single Parents Helping Single Parents” podcast! We want to dive deep into their strategies, hear their challenges and triumphs, and uncover the wisdom they’ve gained along the way.

Imagine the impact of hearing directly from someone who has successfully managed [mention a specific challenge, e.g., “debt,” “challenging co-parenting dynamics,” “building a thriving career while homeschooling”] – their story could be the turning point for another listener.

Nominate Yourself or Someone You Admire!

If you or someone you know is a single parent who has achieved remarkable success (however you define it!) and would be willing to share their journey and insights, we want to hear from you!

We’re looking for honest conversations that offer actionable advice, genuine encouragement, and a powerful dose of hope. Our interviews are typically conversational, lasting around 30-45 minutes, and conducted remotely for convenience.

    • Who you’re nominating (and their contact info if it’s not you).

Trampoline Park Terror!

Leave a comment

Trampoline parks offer fun and exercise, but they also come with safety concerns. Here’s an overview of the risks, including fatalities and injuries, along with safety tips to consider.

⚠️ Trampoline Park Fatalities

While fatalities at trampoline parks are relatively rare, they have occurred:

Documented Deaths: Reports indicate at least six deaths linked to trampoline parks over a seven-year period.  Notable Incidents: In 2012, a 30-year-old man died after jumping into a foam pit at a Phoenix trampoline park. In 2023, a 10-year-old boy, Anthony Duran, collapsed and later died following a brief altercation at a trampoline park in Merced, California. 

📊 Injury Statistics

Trampoline parks are associated with a significant number of injuries:

Emergency Room Visits: Annually, over 7,000 individuals visit emergency rooms due to trampoline park injuries.  Injury Rates: The injury rate is approximately 1.14 per 1,000 jumper hours, with higher rates observed in high-performance areas and foam pits.  Common Injuries: Fractures and dislocations are prevalent, with leg fractures accounting for 59% of injuries. 

🧒 Children at Higher Risk

Children, especially those under six, are more susceptible to injuries:

Injury Prevalence: Between 2009 and 2018, over 800,000 children sustained trampoline-related injuries in the U.S., with most being under 16.  Medical Recommendations: Organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics advise against trampoline use for children under six due to higher injury risks.

✅ Safety Tips for Trampoline Parks

To minimize risks:

Follow Park Rules: Adhere to all posted guidelines and staff instructions. Supervise Children: Always monitor young jumpers closely. Limit Jumpers: Avoid multiple people jumping on the same trampoline simultaneously. Avoid Stunts: Refrain from flips or complex maneuvers unless trained. Use Proper Attire: Wear non-slip socks and remove jewelry. Stay Hydrated: Drink water before and after jumping. Report Hazards: Inform staff of any unsafe conditions immediately.

While trampoline parks can be enjoyable, it’s crucial to be aware of the associated risks and take appropriate precautions to ensure safety for all participants.

Q&A

What do you enjoy most about being a musician?

Being a musician is very much just who you are. It is not a job. It is a thing that lives in you. Regardless of what you do with it. This question could just as easily be “what do you enjoy about having a heartbeat?”. It is part of us. 

Which musician would you like to collaborate with?

I have a big, textured, female voice. I would love to collab with a male/female artist that is similar such as: Jelly Roll Willie/Lukas Nelson Eric Church Post Malone Robert Plant (Why not) Steven Tyler Amy Lee MILEY CYRUS* Halsey

If you were the next Opening Act, what would you do with $10,000?

I would go to the nearest bar and buy some cheap bottles of champagne and celebrate with my boys. Then I’d probably spend a bunch of it promoting the contest, footage, etc.. kind of a big deal to win and I’d FINALLY have some money to promote!

home schooling

Why should single parents homeschool their children?

Leave a comment

Single parents may choose to homeschool their children for several reasons. Here are some potential benefits of homeschooling for single parents:

  1. Flexibility: Homeschooling allows single parents to create a flexible schedule that suits their family’s needs. They can adapt the curriculum and learning hours to fit their work schedule or other responsibilities.
  2. Individualized Attention: Homeschooling enables single parents to provide one-on-one instruction and personalized attention to their children. This approach can be particularly beneficial for children who have unique learning styles or special educational needs.
  3. Stronger Parent-Child Bond: Homeschooling allows single parents to spend more time with their children and actively participate in their education. This can strengthen the parent-child bond and foster deeper relationships.
  4. Consistent Values and Beliefs: Single parents may choose homeschooling to ensure that their children receive an education in line with their values, beliefs, and culture. They have more control over the curriculum and can incorporate their family’s principles into their teaching approach.
  5. Increased Safety and Well-being: Homeschooling can provide a safe and secure learning environment, especially if the single parent has concerns about their child’s safety or well-being in traditional schools. It can also reduce exposure to negative peer influences or bullying.
  6. Tailored Learning Pace: Single parents can adjust the pace of learning to match their child’s abilities and interests. They can provide additional support or challenge their child academically as needed, promoting a more personalized and effective learning experience.
  7. Enhanced Life Skills: Homeschooling offers the opportunity for single parents to teach their children essential life skills outside of traditional academics. They can focus on practical skills, such as financial literacy, cooking, or problem-solving, which can be valuable for their child’s future.
  8. Increased Parental Involvement: Single parents who homeschool have a greater opportunity to be actively involved in their child’s education. They can closely monitor progress, identify strengths and weaknesses, and address any challenges promptly.

It’s important to note that homeschooling requires dedication, time, and effort from the parent. Single parents considering homeschooling should carefully evaluate their ability to provide an appropriate education and consider their child’s socialization needs, as homeschooling may require additional efforts to provide social interactions and extracurricular activities.

How does somebody practice becoming an pro se lawyer!

Leave a comment

Practicing as a pro se lawyer, also known as representing yourself in legal proceedings, can be a complex and challenging task. While it is possible to represent yourself in court, it is important to understand that the legal system is intricate, and legal professionals spend years studying and practicing law to become proficient.

If you decide to pursue pro se representation, here are some general steps to consider:

Social1776.com

http://Social1776.com

http://Social1776TV.com

  1. Research and educate yourself: Start by researching the laws, rules, and procedures relevant to your case. Familiarize yourself with the legal principles and requirements that apply to your situation. Online legal resources, law libraries, self-help legal books, and reputable websites can be valuable sources of information.
  2. Understand the court system: Learn about the court system in your jurisdiction, including the structure, rules, and procedures. Different courts have specific rules that must be followed, and understanding these rules is crucial to effectively represent yourself. Consult the court’s website or visit the courthouse to obtain relevant information.
  3. Consult legal resources and forms: Many courts provide self-help resources, including forms and instructions, for common legal matters. These resources can guide you in preparing legal documents and understanding the required procedures. However, keep in mind that they may not provide specific advice for your unique situation.
  4. Prepare your case: Gather all relevant documents, evidence, and information to support your case. This includes researching applicable laws, organizing documents, and identifying witnesses or experts who can provide testimony or support your claims. Thoroughly prepare your arguments and anticipate counterarguments from the opposing party.
  5. Develop your legal strategy: Analyze your case and determine the best legal strategy to pursue. Consider your goals, potential outcomes, and the strengths and weaknesses of your case. It may be helpful to consult with legal professionals or organizations that offer free or low-cost legal advice to get guidance on your strategy.
  6. Attend relevant legal proceedings: If your case involves court hearings or trials, make sure to attend and be prepared to present your arguments, question witnesses, and respond to the opposing party. Familiarize yourself with the rules of evidence and courtroom etiquette.
  7. Consider seeking assistance: While representing yourself, you may still benefit from professional guidance. Some legal aid organizations or bar associations offer limited assistance or clinics where you can obtain advice from attorneys. They can help you understand legal concepts, review your documents, or provide guidance on specific issues.

It is essential to note that practicing law without proper training and experience can be risky. Legal matters can be complex, and even seemingly small errors can have significant consequences. If your case involves serious legal issues, substantial amounts of money, or potential incarceration, it is generally advisable to consult with a qualified attorney who can provide you with the necessary expertise and representation.

Why should Single Parents start a business with a Shopify store?

Leave a comment

Starting a business with a Shopify store can be a great option for single parents for several reasons:

  1. Flexible Schedule: Running your own online business allows you to set your own hours. You can work when it’s most convenient for you, which is particularly helpful if you have to juggle your work schedule with childcare responsibilities.
  2. Work from Home: With a Shopify store, you can run your business from the comfort of your home. This can save you commuting time and childcare costs.
  3. Income Potential: While the success of any business is never guaranteed, operating your own Shopify store offers the potential for significant income, depending on what you sell and how effectively you market your products.
  4. Easy to Start: Shopify is a user-friendly platform that makes it relatively easy to set up an online store, even without extensive technical knowledge. It offers various templates, built-in payment options, and marketing tools.

  6. Wide Reach: With an online store, you can reach customers from all around the world, not just in your local area. This can significantly increase your potential customer base.
  7. Support and Resources: Shopify offers a range of resources to help you succeed, including 24/7 customer support, online tutorials, and a large community of other store owners who can provide advice and support.
  8. Scalability: As your business grows, Shopify can grow with you. It’s easy to expand your store, add more products, or even start selling in different countries.

Remember, starting any business involves risks and requires a significant commitment of time and effort. Before you start, it’s a good idea to do thorough research, make a business plan, and consider consulting with a business advisor or coach.

Selecting a niche that aligns with your passion or expertise can make the process more enjoyable and increase your chances of success.

Ensure they have a wide range of quality products, competitive pricing, reliable shipping methods, and good customer support. Platforms like Alibaba, AliExpress, and Oberlo can help you connect with suppliers.

Automating these processes will save you time and streamline operations.
  6. Develop a marketing strategy: Plan how you will attract customers to your online store. Utilize digital marketing techniques such as search engine optimization (SEO), social media marketing, content marketing, and email marketing. Leverage platforms like Google Ads and social media advertising to reach your target audience effectively.

Why it’s so important to have a support network as a single parent.

Leave a comment

Having a support network as a single parent is crucial for several reasons. It not only helps alleviate some of the challenges and stressors associated with single parenthood, but it also promotes overall well-being for both the parent and the child. Here are some reasons why it’s essential to have a support network as a single parent:

  1. Emotional support: Single parenting can be emotionally taxing, and having a support network allows you to confide in others who understand your experiences and can offer empathy, encouragement, and advice. This emotional support can help you feel less isolated and better equipped to handle the ups and downs of parenting.
  2. Practical assistance: A support network can provide practical help, such as childcare, transportation, or assistance with household tasks. This can be particularly valuable for single parents who are juggling multiple responsibilities without a partner to share the load.
  3. Sharing experiences: Connecting with other single parents through support groups or social events can help you learn from their experiences, share your own, and gain valuable insights into effective parenting strategies.
  4. Stress relief: Having a support network can help alleviate stress by providing opportunities for socializing, relaxation, and self-care. Engaging in activities with friends or family members can help you recharge and maintain a better balance between your parenting and personal responsibilities.
  5. Positive role models: A strong support network can expose your child to positive adult role models, which can be especially important in single-parent households. These role models can offer guidance, support, and encouragement to your child and contribute to their overall development and well-being.
  6. Financial support: In some cases, a support network may also provide financial assistance or connect you with resources to help you manage the financial challenges of single parenting.
  7. Building resilience: As a single parent, having a support network can help you develop resilience in the face of adversity. By connecting with others who share your experiences and learning to navigate challenges together, you’ll be better prepared to handle any obstacles that come your way.

In conclusion, having a strong support network is essential for single parents. It provides emotional support, practical assistance, opportunities for sharing experiences, stress relief, positive role models, financial support, and helps build resilience. By nurturing a supportive community, single parents can create a healthier and more balanced environment for themselves and their children.

    As a pastor, I recommend this book to any person who is single with children or someone who is dating an individual who has children. What makes this book so rich is that the author keeps it biblical. Many times authors tend to stray for Scripture, giving their own ideology. This man, however, keeps it biblical and gives some gut punching truths for others.

    Please get this book if you are single with a child or considering dating someone who as a child. Moreover, if you are considering a marriage and have children, please read this before you go any further.

    It’s a fruitful book that will open your eyes and bless you.

    Trust but verify

    The interview on the radio that inspired me to get this book was “don’t just look at coupleness – look at the whole family compatability” (paraphrased). That was something I needed to hear. What I also needed to hear but do not see much of it thus far (still reading but read enough to say this) is there is not much affirmation of the wisdom one may already be applying. Some statements are so devoid of affirmation that they miss the full story: there is little to no acknowledgement that something good may be brought to the new family dynamic. The book sometimes feels like a scolding to an unthinking child. But with that said I do recommend it for blind spots because this decision is so serious. And I am sure that was his heart. I told my one friend, who I enlisted as confidant, that if one chooses to marry after reading this book they are either stupid or know God, Himself, has lead them toward marriage. No middle ground. So, trust the author yet remember you are capable, or you wouldn’t be in search of wisdom anyhow. God bless you with wisdom and strength.

    Reviewing DATING AND THE SINGLE PARENT

    This book is not a surface-feel-good book, but one that makes you look at yourself realistically. You can’t just skim it; every page is important. He quotes a single parent who said, “we had no idea what we were getting into”… after reading THIS book, that won’t be you!

    The author is up front and in your face with real issues — he asks you first of all to want God’s blessing in whatever you do. He asks questions so you can avoid repeating past mistakes and discern if you are ready to be serious again.

    At the end of each chapter he lists discussion questions that hammer home the information, and help you to realistically look at yourself and those you are with.

    The author explains the difference between “coupleness” and “familyness” which will give the reader a lot to consider. Coupleness does not equal familyness and should be kept in the forefront of every meeting and activity.

    He will probably shock a lot of people about ‘soul-mate’ but what he says hits the mark; he is right-on and will save people a lot of heart-ache if they listen.

    I liked how he promotes involving God and His ways in every area of one’s life i.e. a spiritually determined purpose in dating, everyone can learn from. Here is one of the thoughts he puts forth:

    “In what way is your purpose in dating blocking God’s purpose for you in dating?”

    Like I said, he asks thought-provoking and self-examining questions only you can answer.

    One piece of wisdom I’ll share here is when he says “marry someone, not as a replacement parent, but because you love them and believe they will help you raise your kids in the Lord.”

    The author gives a behavior list and says he would limit it to 1-4; I would have to say in that area, I would limit it 1-3. You’ll have to get the book to see what I am talking about!

    I am not a reviewer who ‘gives away’ the whole story, but I hope this review will give single parents or those dating a single parent, a taste to read this book. It is well worth it.

    I was given this book to review by Bethany House Publishers with no restrictions as to how I would review it. I do highly recommend it.

Helping out the family!

Back in 1986 my Mother took an unusual decision to join the workforce and help earn money that could support my parents’ collective dream – to afford us the best quality education. In those days and within our social circles in our sleepy, laid back and somewhat poetic town in India it was a […]

social etiquette

Tossing social etiquette to the wind and why would you feel comfortable enough to pose that, like you’re inquiring about?

with some humor:
In reference to my kids:
“Is his father/mother in the picture?” Ugh. That’s so rude. Why would you ask that question like he/she isn’t? And even more importantly, why would you feel comfortable enough to pose that, like you’re inquiring about where I got my sweater or who did my hair? Rude party of one.
“Maybe she’s acting out because… you know… dad’s not around.” Maybe she is. So what’s your excuse?
“Who’s his daddy?” Wow. Well, since we’re tossing social etiquette to the wind: how much do you weigh? What did you bring home on your taxes last year? Make you feel uncomfortable? OK, that’s how we feel too.
All up in my love life:
“No man is going to want you with all of those kids.” Mmm hmm. Mmm hmm. Thanks for making that point. And what, pray tell, would you suggest I do with these kids now that I have them? Trade them in for the man? Or give up on the man and just resign myself to a life of singleness? Bigger than that, that’s just a really mean thing to say. Sheesh.“I’ll pray for a family for you and your daughter.” Before you get into that, you might need to go on ahead and pray that my hand doesn’t accidentally land across the back of your head. Contrary to what you might think, my daughters and I together are a family. Yep, just us. Adding a man does not make us better. We’re doing just fine by ourselves.“You’ve got all them kids and now you want to be celibate?” Blank stare. No comment.
About my life in general:
“I don’t know how you do it!” I don’t either. But it gets done, so let’s not over analyze the logistics. I’m walking on water here and I’m trying not to look down.“Where’s Angelise and Raelynn?” You know, I actually stopped being pregnant 3 years ago. That was the last time we were physiologically tied together. Sometimes she does gnaw loose from that chains that apparently keeps up attached at the ankles.
“You look tired.” That’s because I am. But thank you for your transparency and honesty. Care to watch over my household while I take a nap?
Okay single parents research time< What are some thing people say or have said to you that just gets on your very last nerve??????
