The Here and Now of Single Parenting
Single-parent families can no longer be viewed as nontraditional families. These families are all around us today. The U.S. Census Bureau reported that about 30 percent of American families are headed by only one parent and that number continues to increase. Single-parent households numbered over 12 million in the year of 2000 and 13.7 million as of 2009. As more single-parent families have appeared on the American landscape. Interest has grown as to the effect of these households on children's well-being.
On the next Parent Connections program, you will be able to gain a better understanding of what a single-parent household encompasses. You will also learn the several important aspects of single parenting from guest experts, psychologist Dr. Barry Ginsberg and attorney Barbara N. Lyons, Bucks County Mediation and Arbitration Center. Single-parent households do face many challenges, both for the parent and the child, but the children in these families can and do thrive in society provided you understand what is involved. Information and support is extremely helpful in the process. This month’s Parent Connections program will provide you with just that

CB CARES PROMOTES FAMILY DINNERS
Join CB Cares as we promote Family Day-A Day to Eat Dinner with Your Children. Family Day - is a national movement that reminds parents that what their kids really want at the dinner table is THEM!
The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University launched Family Day in 2001 after its research consistently found that the more often kids eat dinner with their families, the less likely they are to smoke, drink or use drugs.
