1) Dont be a victim - Some mothers "single" begin to be victims because of their life circumstances and this concept is passed on to children. If so, the case the children are raised with a sense of dependence and pessimism. Despite the blows of life, God will not let us be tempted beyond what we can bear (1 Corinthians 10:13) Life is a blessing but we have evidence on it and the mothers "single" should do everything possible to transmit this optimism and faith to their children.

(2) The importance of a schedule - Although sometimes (eg on Saturday) can break a routine, it is usually good for children and young people have a schedule to get up to pray and think of the word God, to do homework, play and leisure. It is even more important to seek the stability of a routine when one parent is absent.

(3) The importance of work - is a principle to be applied in all homes (2 Thess. 3:10-12). Children who learn to do their homework and meet various responsibilities around the house almost always become responsible.

(4) Discipline - Mothers have to be very strong to control their children, especially boys. It means using the rod of discipline when they are small (Proverbs 13:24, 22:15, 29:15). Men who are controlled by the rod of discipline when they are young while they can be mastered, then you can control even when they become teenagers. But if they are not controlled when they are young, it will be impossible to control them as young people. The children must have well defined limits. If there is conflict with the mother, she can not let them win. It has to be firm and strong.

(5) Find more fervently to God - the absence of an earthly father should further increase the desire to have the influence of the heavenly Father in the home. It means a lot of prayer with the children, many Bible studies and great efforts to meet with brothers to encourage and be encouraged to love and good works. Single mothers who do not seek wholeheartedly to God, without excuse if they fail their children.

(6) Seek out a Christian man who can give care to the child. Of course this should be done with discretion, but it is good that the Christian family (if any) as aunts, uncles and cousins ​​make a special effort to engage the children growing up without parents, taking them to church meetings, to go " fishing "or other recreational activities. If no family members of the church should do everything possible to help.
