Here are some tipsAccording to Mr Fredrick Osolo, a single parent should work on him/herself so that they are comfortable with their single status no matter what caused it. “Whether it was a choice, spousal neglect, or widowhood, a single parent should come to the point of acceptance,” he says, adding that when one has accepted their marital status, questions from the society can be answered confidently. “That openness is respectful to a child because the single parent is not projecting his or her unfinished emotional business on the child,” he says. “A parent of the same gender as the child will help the child to go through a process of identification. The dad can get a female mentor for the girl child to help in the development of the child,” he says.
