I am always surprised at some the posts that receive the most visits and post some photos from my recent visit to Sanibel, Florida.
The number one post for 2015 in pageviews was:
One Parent, Two Parents and Child Well-Being
This post summarized results of data from the National Health Interview Survey. The key data on how childhood and parenting changed over the last 40 plus years in the U.S.
1. Fewer children are living in a home with two parents
2. Children are more frequently raised by a single mother
3. More children are living and being raised by a grandparent
4. Children living with both parents had lower rates of medical and psychological problems
It seems the changes that are occurring in the child environment are presenting significant challenges.
It seems like a good time to reach out to any single parents you might know to offer a helping hand.
