A single parent is an individual who raises one or more children without the support of a partner. This situation can arise from various circumstances, including divorce, separation, or the choice to have children without a partner. Single parents often face unique challenges, such as balancing work and childcare responsibilities. Single parenting can impact both the parent and the children involved. Many single parents rely on family, friends, or community resources for support. Programs and services, such as childcare assistance and parenting classes, can help single parents manage their responsibilities and provide a stable environment for their children.
