The existence of a network of social support is crucial to the adjustment of the parent and child(ren) in a single-parent home
Give at least four specific examples of people, agencies,
or institutions that might function as social supports for a single-parent family, and tell what
each might provide.
What will be an ideal response?
Support groups for single parents provide emotional support and practical advice
through contact with others in the same situation. A grandparent or other relative
might help with child care and perhaps contribute financial support, while the child's
teachers and school counselors can help with school-related problems and with the
child's general adjustment. Friends and neighbors might volunteer to baby-sit, do the
shopping, or help out with other errands.
