Let Go of Perfection
As a single parent, you can't do everything perfectly. That's okay. Focus on what truly matters: your child's safety, health, and happiness. Everything else can be "good enough."
Create Routines
Routines help both you and your child. They create predictability and reduce decision fatigue. Simple routines for mornings, meals, and bedtime can make a huge difference in managing your time.
Prioritize and Delegate
Not everything needs to be done right now. Learn to prioritize what's urgent vs. what can wait. And when possible, delegate. Kids can help with age-appropriate tasks, and it teaches them responsibility too.
Take Care of Yourself
You can't pour from an empty cup. Taking time for yourself isn't selfish—it's necessary. Even 15 minutes a day can make a difference. Your well-being matters, and your child benefits when you're well.
