However, these survival tips will help you achieve a bit more balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">In no particular order, here are the tips that will help you survive and succeed in college as a single parent:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t Feel Guilty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t Neglect Self-Care<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find A Support System<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Evaluate Your Study Habits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make Homeworks A Family Event<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consider Other Alternate Learning Options<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prioritize<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Join Forces with Other Single Parents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Get Creative With Childcare<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plan Ahead For Emergencies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create A Routine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be Consistent With Rules And Discipline<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-theme-primary-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-1-don%E2%80%99t-feel-guilty-\"><span id=\"1-dont-feel-guilty\"><strong>#1. Don\u2019t Feel Guilty<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Schools generally require our time and attention. Due to this, many single parents feel guilty for even considering college. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">As a single parent, it&#8217;s vital that you remember the short time you spend in college is just a fraction of your child\u2019s life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Also, the benefits you\u2019ll enjoy upon completing your degree will be well worth the sacrifices you (and your child) make during school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Therefore, explain to your child or children why you are going to school. Yes, they may miss you occasionally, but they will understand why you are doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-theme-primary-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-2-don%E2%80%99t-neglect-self-care-\"><span id=\"2-dont-neglect-self-care\"><strong>#2. Don\u2019t Neglect Self-Care<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">You will be at your best for your kids only when you are healthy and relaxed. So, before anything else can be done, ensure that you adequately care for your needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Many parents tend to put their children\u2019s needs first and theirs last, which often results in a never-ending cycle of exhaustion and feelings of inadequacy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">As a parent, take time to eat regularly and healthfully, get plenty of rest, and exercise whenever you can. Also, a short walk around the neighborhood will do you good as it helps your body get much-needed movement and fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Your kids depend on you, so ensure you are well-equipped and ready to take on that responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-theme-primary-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-3-find-a-support-system-\"><span id=\"3-find-a-support-system\"><strong>#3. Find A Support System<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No man is an island, and no one stands alone. Everyone needs help occasionally, so as a single parent, ensure you have reliable help. Don\u2019t try to be a superhero and do it all yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">All college students benefit from a support system; these relationships are\u00a0essential\u00a0for single parents. You need to find and set up your support system, including those who have always been your biggest cheerleaders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Some probably care about you and your children and want to help you. Let them know what types of things would be most appreciated, when, and how often they will need help. Whether it\u2019s bringing meals once a week, helping with rides to school, or giving you time to yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">You need people in your life who will encourage you to go the distance and help you get there. Remember that there is\u00a0no shame in asking for help\u00a0and accepting assistance from loved ones.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">You will be surprised to know more people are committed to your success than you probably realize. So, don\u2019t be afraid to ask for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-theme-primary-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-4-evaluate-your-study-habits-\"><span id=\"4-evaluate-your-study-habits\"><strong>#4. Evaluate Your Study Habits<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Many things change once you start having children. In the same vein, the time and manner in which you studied before having a child will probably have to change as a single parent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Try to find pockets of time that little impact quality time with your child to study. Always remember that school only lasts for a set period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-theme-primary-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-5-make-homeworks-a-family-event-\"><span id=\"5-make-homeworks-a-family-event\"><strong>#5. Make Homeworks A Family Event<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Always make out time for your kids as a single parent in college. If you have a child in school, do well to make studying and homework a bonding experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">You can do your homework at the same time as your child. This way, you get to spend quality time with them, and in turn, they get a first-hand example of how to study appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fdf5d2\"><strong>Check out these&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/kiiky.com\/homework-helper-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\">10 Homework Helper Apps For International Students<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-theme-primary-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-6-consider-other-alternate-learning-options-\"><span id=\"6-consider-other-alternate-learning-options\"><strong>#6. Consider Other Alternate Learning Options<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Nowadays, you don&#8217;t have to be physically present in a classroom to earn a degree, as most colleges and universities offer online programs. So you can take the classes at home and work around your schedule instead of having to be in the classroom at a specific time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">This, in turn, gives you more flexibility, convenience, and the freedom to be at home with your children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-theme-primary-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-7-prioritize-\"><span id=\"7-prioritize\"><strong>#7 Prioritize<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Generally, the top 4 priorities for most single parents in college are family, work, school, and sleep. Make sure you don\u2019t ignore any of them, especially the final priority, sleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">As a parent, you\u2019re already used to functioning with little sleep. Combining this with college work may not cut it in on your sleep. However, your mind and body need more rest to function as a student. So, find times to grab a nap or two, as it\u2019ll go a long way toward your sanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-theme-primary-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-8-join-forces-with-other-single-parents-\"><span id=\"8-join-forces-with-other-single-parents\"><strong>#8 Join Forces with Other Single Parents<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">You may sometimes feel left alone as a single parent in college. However, the statistics show that many others know exactly what you\u2019re going through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">However, you can find single parents locally, through your children\u2019s school, through extracurricular activities, online, or even through an app. In addition, many online communities can offer support and advice through Facebook or sites like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.single-momnation.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Single Mom Nation<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Typically single moms make up most single parents; however, there are more than 2.6 million single dads in the USA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Another great way to connect is through Meetup. Several single parents will be more than happy to arrange babysitting swaps, playdates, and carpools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">So, ensure you join forces to form mutually beneficial relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-theme-primary-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-9-get-creative-with-childcare-\"><span id=\"9-get-creative-with-childcare\"><strong>#9 Get Creative With Childcare<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Raising a child as a single parent with a single income is a challenge, especially with the high cost of daycares, nannies, and other conventional childcare services. However, there are more affordable options if you go a less traditional route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">So, if you have space and live in a college town, you can offer college student housing for regular childcare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">You can also swap kids with other single parents (like those you met in communities or meetups), so your kids can have friends to play with while the parents get time to themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">This makes the parents\u2019 job much easier and a win-win situation for the children and single parents in college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-theme-primary-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"11-10-plan-ahead-for-emergencies-\"><span id=\"10-plan-ahead-for-emergencies\">#10 <strong>Plan Ahead For Emergencies<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Basically, as a single parent, you need to have a backup plan or two in emergencies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Make sure you have a list of people you know you can call at a moment\u2019s notice. This is because times will come when you need help, and knowing who you can rely on is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Also, determine whether your area offers emergency babysitting services or a drop-in daycare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Knowing that someone will be able to care for your child in an emergency can relieve one potential source of anxiety for you as a single parent in stressful situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-theme-primary-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"12-11-create-a-routine-\"><span id=\"11-create-a-routine\"><strong>#11 Create A Routine<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Generally, routines&nbsp;are crucial for young children because knowing what to expect gives them a semblance of control. This is even more important for you as a single parent who combines college work with running the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">For instance, life can seem extremely chaotic and unpredictable if your child has multiple caretakers or travels between homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">So, establish a routine and schedule for your child as much as possible. The routine can include bedtime, before\/after school, chores, meal times, and even a weekend routine, to mention but a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Also, remember having a routine does not mean things cannot change. Rather, it is merely a default schedule to fall back on when no additional events or activities occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Furthermore, when your children have a routine, they will be less resistant because they know what to expect. This will make the days run much more smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-theme-primary-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"13-12-be-consistent-with-rules-and-discipline-\"><span id=\"12-be-consistent-with-rules-and-discipline\"><strong>#12 Be Consistent With Rules And Discipline<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">As a single parent in college, ensure you are consistent with the rules and disciplinary measures you\u2019ve set up for your children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">When your child has multiple caretakers, such as another parent, grandparent, or babysitter, make sure you clearly communicate how discipline will be handled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">If you share custody with your ex, talk to him\/her and any other caretakers about the rules and the agreed-upon approach to discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">This is because when a child realizes that certain rules can be bent with certain people, he\/she will use them to his\/her advantage, causing additional issues with limits, behavior, and discipline down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-theme-primary-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"14-advocacy-help-amp-resources-for-single-parents-in-college-in-2020-\"><span id=\"advocacy-help-resources-for-single-parents-in-college-in-2023\"><strong>Advocacy, Help, &amp; Resources&nbsp;For Single Parents In College In 2023<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Because college is challenging for most students, many resources are available. However, many of these resources are not tailored for single-parent students or the issues many single parents face in college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Not to worry, various resources are available for single-parent college students to support them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-theme-primary-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"15-single-parent-advocacy-organizations-\"><span id=\"single-parent-advocacy-organizations\"><strong>Single Parent Advocacy Organizations<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Many organizations have been established to assist single parents who are struggling.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Here is a list of organizations that recognize how important it is for single parents to get an education and therefore focus only on helping those students.
