Every day in the United States, 22 million children go home to one parent, and 83 percent of those parents are moms.
Children of one-parent households are generally less supervised, their actions are less monitored, and there is usually a huge communication gap between the child and parent.
Although these statistics can be overwhelming, pastor and parenting expert Clinton McRae, Jr. tells CBN News single parents need not despair. They can experience victory in their homes with some common-sense tools offered in McRae's new book, Parent Leadership for Today.
It is written with a special emphasis on educating, empowering, and inspiring parents to become responsible leaders in the home. McRae says this is accomplished when parents understand the various roles they must assume as their child moves through certain phases of life.
He also explains how parents can effectively communicate with their children, even teenagers!
