Raising a child on your own

A child living alone with one parent is common in France. Nearly a quarter of all children are in this situation. Here are some tips for raising your child.

• It is important to support the parent who is absent by talking about them from time to time.
• Avoid considering your child as the referee of your relationship with your former partner.
• Make time for your child, but also try to take time for yourself.
• Your child is like a sponge, so take advantage of this to awaken his curiosity and desire to discover the world.
