Being a single mother is a challenge, but also a blessing. I face many unique situations and experience different emotions, but one thing remains the same: my deep love for my children and the desire to raise them in harmony and happiness. In this blog, I want to share my experience of raising children as a single mother and offer some tips that help me maintain balance and harmony in our family.

Priorities and self care:
As a single mother, I have come to realize that my self-care and physical, emotional and mental well-being play an important role in raising my children. I try to take time for myself, take care of my needs and find support from friends and loved ones. Only by being in harmony with myself can I be the best version of myself for my children.

Open and honest communication:
I try to maintain open and honest communication with my children. I listen to their opinion, accept their feelings and try to understand their needs. We discuss problems and find solutions together. It helps us to strengthen the bond and trust in each other.

Distribution of duties:
Raising children alone, I learned to delegate and distribute responsibilities among all family members. We form a joint daily routine in which everyone has their own role and responsibility. Whether it's school, household chores, or time to relax - each of us contributes and feels useful.

Creating a routine and structure:
Children need stability and predictability. So I created routines and structure in our lives. We have a schedule with specific times for study, play, sleep, and family time. This helps the kids feel safe and in control and makes it easier for me to organize and plan.

Importance of network support:
One of the most valuable things I have found is the support of the network - other parents, friends, family or the single mother community. Sharing experiences, advice and emotional support helps me feel less alone and find inspiration and strength in difficult moments.

Raising children as a single mother can be a challenge, but with the right approach and support, it is also a source of deep happiness and love. By following our priorities, maintaining open communication, assigning responsibilities, creating routines, and seeking support, we can raise children in harmony and happiness. Remember that you are incredibly strong and capable of great things!
