Single Parenting

At FamilyLife Canada, our mission is to bring help and hope to all the marriages and families in Canada. That includes families with single parents.

Parenting is tough enough when there are two parents sharing the load, but we’ve seen the toll it takes on single parents when most or all of the parenting falls only on their shoulders.
So we’ve enlisted the help of two professionals for this video on demand mini series dedicated to helping single parents. You will gain wisdom from two of our favourite parenting educators: Joel Pukalo and Jenn Dean.
