Well hang on because everything you thought about your son or daughter is about to change . . . drastically.

But there was a time when they entered into puberty where I thought I would lose my ever loving mind. Of course girls go through it much differently than boys do. Let's start with the girls first . . .&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My daughter hit puberty around 12 years of age. I know because she argued about everything, she had these outbursts over something she hardly ever reacted before to and she was a lot more somber than normal. I mean, she was always stubborn but she started to way overboard it seemed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I went from being a SUPER-DAD to a STUPID-DAD almost overnight. Can you relate to what I'm saying if you've already gone through it? I mean I wondered where my sweet little princess went to and if she would ever return to me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here were some of the patterns you should be looking for and they are: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;1. an obvious change in personality&lt;br /&gt;2. argumentative; more than usual&lt;br /&gt;3. shutting herself in her room most of the time&lt;br /&gt;4. yelling and screaming at you for anything you say to her&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have to say these things scared me but I started to see a pattern developing and this is how I handled it and you can too with minimal damage to house and hearth. LOL&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You want to approach her and ask her how are things going in her life, you know like at school, her friends, or her homework, like you've always done only this time read her body language and see if there is something that is just slightly different. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For example, if normally when you ask her that question and she reacts gregariously, that is to say really animated like her eyes sparkling and her hands waving around, but this time she is NOT doing that at all, you can figure out that there IS something else going on in her life that is really bugging her. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now how do you get her to open up to you without her exploding or becoming upset with you and her own reason for being? What you could do is once you ask her the question, read her body language and determine that there is something else that's bothering her, you talk about how things were for you when you were her age. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I would begin by just looking at her things so as not to draw too much attention to her and then tell her how, "when I was your age I would feel a certain way when a girl or boy would . . . " and then move into your story. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Look, the point is even if it is not related to her problem, this will relax her somewhat and move her to become open, if even for a little bit. You can then physically move closer to her and then looking at her and doing the things you used to do when she was a baby like stroking her hair, holding her close and instead of talking, listening to her. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The act of holding her and all shows her that you are still her loving parent and once establishing that, you can then question her again as to what is really bothering her and that you can probably help her solve it, or at least getting her to open up and you telling her that you are there for her, no matter what. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is those kinds of acts that gives her the space she needs but also giving her the assurance of knowing that you love her no matter what; that you're there for her and that you love her always even though she is growing up. It's that connection to the past yet knowing that she must move forward with her life and still having daddy by her side. This is important now and in how she will view all the men in her life so be there for her, always. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even if she acts a bit psycho sometimes and you're a guy thinking, "what do I say to her" or "what did I do now". It isn't about you all the time dad even if she makes you feel that way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So remember to:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;hold your child like you did when they were babies&lt;br /&gt;stroke them like you did when they were babies&lt;br /&gt;letting them know that they are your best girl&lt;br /&gt;giving them the space they need to grow into the woman they are becoming&lt;br /&gt;use a little slight of hand to get her to open up&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;All this will always keep you as a Super Dad in her eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next letter we'll cover how boys go through puberty and the differences between the sexes.&lt;br /&gt;Hang in there single dad; you're doing fine!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To learn more visit the &lt;a href="http://www.supersingledads.com/" target="blank"&gt;Super Single Dad Website&lt;/a&gt; and get the primer on how to raise a child artfully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20501695-1021376210497977848?l=super-singledad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://super-singledad.blogspot.com/feeds/1021376210497977848/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20501695&amp;postID=1021376210497977848&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20501695/posts/default/1021376210497977848'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20501695/posts/default/1021376210497977848'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://super-singledad.blogspot.com/2008/02/when-your-kids-hit-puberty.html' title='When Your Kids Hit Puberty'/><author><name>Jorge</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18118419930097174887</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lEfFl9WsacQ/S41tMPVIpxI/AAAAAAAAALI/kuPir8BcRfg/S220/profile_pic_black_cross.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lEfFl9WsacQ/R8fGsB11gtI/AAAAAAAAAFM/9cI29q3tYlw/s72-c/IMG_0749.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20501695.post-2978174791586974325</id><published>2007-02-08T11:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-01T15:10:50.149-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Creating a home-based after school program</title><content type='html'>Hello Reader,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know it has been awhile since my last post but if you're a single parent, you completely understand how it takes so much time raising children; no matter what age they are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My daughter is turning 19 in April and my son is 17 last August. Guess what? It just doesn't end because now there is college to work up and through for both!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me, since they are so close in age, only 16 months apart, everything happens altogether within a year of each other. What I mean is my daughter just graduated last June and now my son graduates this June.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has always been a constant stream of activities or obligations that never stop. See, if you're smart enough or lucky enough you'll have your children at least two years apart. That way you don't have to have it all one right after each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, anyway while we're on the subject of two children close in age, lets talk about what kind of activities you can do with your kids, especially after school, that offers them a learning experience too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, your son's or daughter's school does not offer any extracurricular activities. You are worried of depriving your child of all that extra knowledge and fun. What should you do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First realize that after school activities needn't be taught in a school-like environment by professional teachers in a structured and timely manner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a lot YOU can do to support your child's academic, physical and social development. Don't be too concerned about formal programs and the fact is that many of our children are already over-scheduled with homework alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today children have more and more advanced homework than I ever had as a child. Also if you don't have computers and calculators that weren't even invented when I was growing up today for your kid, you are at a disadvantage. I digress . . .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously, school is top priority for children. They need to go to school, and finish their homework. They should then do their daily reading or writing work etc. This may take about 30-60 minutes but these days can take up to two or two and a half hours to accomplish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I always gave time for my young children to de-stress from school a little bit by doing activities with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the course of their daily work, your child may develop certain academic preferences and interests. In that case, you can try and find a program in a college or a community center that will help her and encourage her to try it out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the age of the Internet, information is really not a rarity. Allow him to use the net to find more information about thing that he likes. Encouraging the child to do independent research to gain in-depth knowledge is something that no formal program does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are concerned about the lack of social life, enroll him or her in a club - a reading club maybe. Visit public libraries or even the theatre, if your child is interested. It is not necessary for your child to make friends with children his own age. A parent-child book club is another interesting option. If you can round up a number of like-minded children and their parents, you may well start your own after-school program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're not ready or willing to organized a group activity, look to your community. Many or most communities offer many programs children love getting involved in or programs emphasizing social problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your child can get their first real taste of suffering, charity and community help from such experiences. Volunteering for clean-up sessions, adult education programs etc could be a real eye-opener for your child. The lessons they learn become invaluable to them and something they can carry into adult life too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If physical activity or the lack of it is of major concern, then enroll your child for some dancing classes or hiking activities. If organized sports are impossible to get, try enrolling them in a gym. They may find friends there and may take to the treadmill, lifting weights or wall climbing. It's safer than climbing a tree, isn't it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember too that your child does not necessarily have to be a part of an organized group to benefit from after-school activities. There are various avenues open in front of you really and sometimes doing things around the house is great. That's what I did for my kids; give them a routine of chores to do which they still do, except a bit better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Roping in the enthusiasm of your children in daily household activities like cooking, cleaning etc can also provide them with a refreshing extracurricular experience. Moreover, in my experience it improves family ties too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope this article helps you in designing your own after school activities that doesn't require tons of cash or time that most single parents don't have the luxury of having.

Well, you get my drift.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You fought for full time custody and you were awarded that privilege by the judge. Just because you're a male doesn't mean you can't be the nurturing parent. I tell you what, your kids sure know the difference and they don't care whether it's mommy or daddy, as long as they are being nurtured.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My daughter is a legal young adult now and my son will be next year, but I remember when they were very little how we would go to the park together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, let me preface this with saying that I gave up my "musical career" as a traveling musician and there were times that I had to go on welfare because where I lived at the time, jobs were scarce. I have to admit to you how much that ate at me and it finally caused a breakdown, but that's another story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My point there is that you sacrifice to be with your kids and you do whatever it takes to nurture and be with them, especially if their mother abandoned them either by choice or by death. Anyway, I digress . . .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We would go to the park and I remember how much joy and pleasure I would experience watching them go up the ladder and slide down, and how proud they felt in doing so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Look at me Dada" and then the other would chime in, "Look at me too!" They felt so proud of themselves and radiated all that positive feelings, even when I wasn't feeling so positive with where my life was leading me at the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their smiles, laughter and joy would promptly take me out of any funk I might have felt at the time, if indeed I was feeling down and funky. Of course that has a different connotation today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We would stop at the market on the way back and pick up food for dinner but I always watched the Oprah Winfrey show. Truth be known I used to watch Oprah way back when she was basically doing a Donahue type show. Running up and down the aisles and all that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I would lay my kids down so they could take a nap and I would go and watch the Oprah Winfrey Show. I figured that maybe I could learn something about raising a child or child diseases or something related to children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well sometimes there might have been something about a medical condition children were experiencing, but never anything about how to raise a child today so they grow up with the three R's ingrained in their little souls, and they are&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;RESPECT, RELIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is something I propose to do. I would love to be on the Oprah Winfrey Show as a guest and teach the principles on how to raise a child today; from a father's point of view. A father who raised his children by himself gathering and learning what it really takes to be a parent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact is that we do everything different than women, but we have the same loving and nurturing components that women do and with some guidance, we become very skilled at it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bottom line is to make sure that the children are as fulfilled as they can possibly be in order for them to grow up as respectful, responsible and reliable grown-ups.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why Oprah? Because she has an immense audience and the truth be known there are many males who secretly watch Oprah, like I do, or er, did . . .ahem . . .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Write to Oprah and let her know you want the &lt;a href="http://www.supersingledads.com" target="new"&gt;"Super Single Dad"&lt;/a&gt; on there so she can grill him and ask him the pertinent questions on raising a child, and how he went about raising his children, artfully. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;See you on the next post.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Peace.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20501695-115396692045787818?l=super-singledad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://super-singledad.blogspot.com/feeds/115396692045787818/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20501695&amp;postID=115396692045787818&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20501695/posts/default/115396692045787818'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20501695/posts/default/115396692045787818'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://super-singledad.blogspot.com/2006/07/man-would-i-like-to-be-on-big-os-show.html' title='Man Would I Like to Be on the Big O&apos;s Show'/><author><name>Jorge</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18118419930097174887</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lEfFl9WsacQ/S41tMPVIpxI/AAAAAAAAALI/kuPir8BcRfg/S220/profile_pic_black_cross.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20501695.post-115333621802038155</id><published>2006-07-19T11:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-19T12:10:18.053-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I Love Raising My Children by Myself</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/925/902/1600/dad_son_daught.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/925/902/320/dad_son_daught.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, you heard me right. And I'll tell you why but let me preface this with what I am getting from single dads and would be single dads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recently spoke to a friend who is going through a nasty divorce. I define nasty when one or both parties are fighting over the kids and not taking into consideration that they belong to both. I also define nasty when the mother uses the children as pawns for power so she can get her way, even if deep down she doesn't want all the responsibility anyway. Usually she does it for... yep, you guessed it, MONEY. Sad, but true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, my friend told me how he had just visited his children that he hadn't seen in four weeks because of the bullshit his soon to be ex wife is putting him through and the kids especially.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/925/902/1600/arguing.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/925/902/320/arguing.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now he isn't some kind of criminal. In fact he is a criminal lawyer in good standing and a good father. The fact is that she is wielding the children to get back at him and that's never the right way to treat your children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I consider myself blessed because my childrens mother bowed out of their lives completely. She never really wanted to have children but again, because society and friends dictated, she began believing that because she was female that she was the one to raise the children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After I was awarded full charge of my children she went back to her life and a few years later, severed all ties to the kids; no letters, no cards, no calls, no nothing. Now before you all say how sad and how hard that is on the kids, realize something and you veteran single dads know of what I speak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you have to split your children up, by that I mean visitation, more than likely you are going to have different rules, habits, schools excetera and what you end up with are children totally confused. And if you think the arguments cease, well you have another thing coming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is rare that divorced parents can see eye to eye, but I'm sure it does happen; just not in my experience. Even in the most amicable of situations the mom isn't going to be able to handle the situation and the teen-aged daughter is going to tell to f . . . well, you know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then she say things like, "Wait till I tell your father" which only makes it worse for dad. And usually when your kids come back to you place you have to straighten all the attitudes only for it to start again next week. &lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/925/902/1600/fighting.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 173px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 158px" height="236" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/925/902/320/fighting.jpg" width="298" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I am trying to say is that by my kid's mother bowing out completely, it set the stage for peace and harmony in our household. There were no double lives for them. They had one set of rules and one place to be. They grew up together and never did I have to go through the, "I don't want to go this week dad" thing; ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They didn't go through that back and forth crap that almost all kids have to go through. And over time as they grew up the memory of discord when she was around faded away from their memories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, there was much repairing on my part as well as for them, and I cannot go into all that here, (in my next book) but in the end, my children survived what for most children today don't. That is the terrible scars that are left when they have to go through the separation every week from the nurturing parent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I am glad that I raised my children by myself. Oh yeah, I didn't get the weekly or bi-weekly breaks that other parents get. I didn't get the support maybe some other parents get, but my children and I had peace of life and that's makes it all worth it now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/925/902/1600/sunset_dad.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/925/902/320/sunset_dad.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Thanks for reading and until next time, stay frosty single dads and all will work out well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To find out more about raising your children artfully invest in your copy of:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.supersingledads.com" target="new"&gt;THE SUPER SINGLE DAD; ARTFULLY RAISING CHILDREN&lt;/a&gt;.

Let me explain myself then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having children and artfully raising them is about as great a job as any man can have. You are molding your little one into a person with the three R's ingrained; reliable, responsible and respectful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is where being a &lt;a href="http://www.supersingledads.com" target="new"&gt;"SUPER DAD"&lt;/a&gt; comes into play. You see, when your child is born, she/he comes out with genetic programming, the sum of who you and their mother are. Even if the gene pool is pedigreed, what is not apparent today will become reality tomorrow. Don't think that your child is who he/she is because of pedigree. That has nothing to do with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is their personality that you encourage and nurture so that she is a happy and healthy human being. By knowing her patterns though you can encourage more positive behaviors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember when my son was very young, he would become frustrated at not being able to draw anything other than stick figures. I would remind him however, that he could because I had drawings he had made in pre-school and kindergarten. His figures were more than just stick figures and in fact they were more Picasso like, but by showing and reminding him of his past drawings, he could see that it was possible for him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we would sit together and draw free hand on a &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;blank&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; piece of paper. By having blank paper he was free to draw anything from his imagination instead of something that he would have to compare to like staying in the lines or that had any references to figures, people or animals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doing this gave him more confidence because he could draw what he wanted, giving him a special pride in himself too. He did feel like an accomplished Picasso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are the little things that are part of raising your child artfully that we overlook or don't pay enough attention to. These are the small things that instills confidence, pride in their work and pride in themselves putting them onto the path of the three R's; reliable, responsible and respectful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes having color books and pictures where they need to be more advanced are not conducive to a healthy self image. Some need different avenues to exploit their talents and giving them the choice helps them with their self confidence and image. It will always be that way too, so be observant of your child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not every child is cut out to be a college student, or a senator or president. Some are content being an auto mechanic, owner of a small business, or even a writer. It is up to you to pay attention to the little details of your child's life, putting them on the path to their life of positive prosperity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Knowing those little things are what makes you a &lt;a href="http://www.supersingledads.com" target="new"&gt;Super Single Dad"&lt;/a&gt; and your children will love you for it; always.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pick up your copy of "The Super Single Dad; Artfully Raising Children" at:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.supersingledads.com"&gt;http://www.supersingledads.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To your success as a single dad, always.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20501695-115223123885442879?l=super-singledad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://super-singledad.blogspot.com/feeds/115223123885442879/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20501695&amp;postID=115223123885442879&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20501695/posts/default/115223123885442879'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20501695/posts/default/115223123885442879'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://super-singledad.blogspot.com/2006/07/do-i-have-to-stay-in-lines.html' title='Do I have to stay in the lines?'/><author><name>Jorge</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18118419930097174887</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lEfFl9WsacQ/S41tMPVIpxI/AAAAAAAAALI/kuPir8BcRfg/S220/profile_pic_black_cross.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20501695.post-115036106109252244</id><published>2006-06-14T23:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-06-15T01:48:17.703-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Announcing the Resource for the Super Single Dad.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/925/902/1600/superdad_tee_image_smallest.png"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/925/902/200/superdad_tee_image_smallest.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; How does an ordinary single dad go about becoming a SUPER SINGLE DAD? It doesn't come easy and it doesn't happen overnight. But with the right advice, tips and techniques, a roadmap if you will, even a newbie can transform himself into a SUPER DAD!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.supersingledads.com" target="new"&gt;http://www.supersingledads.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, how does one go about finding that experience or the resource to help out? Today there are lots of websites that talk about parenting, discipline, health issues and child issues, but today you can find many answers to your basic questions by picking up your copy of my new e-book, "The Super Single Dad; Artfully Raising Children", the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;roadmap&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; that you have been looking for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/925/902/1600/e-book_cover3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/925/902/200/e-book_cover3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wrote the book primarily to help the single dad that has full primary custody of his children, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:red;"&gt;and without the presence&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; of the other parent at all. There is a difference in how that child or children will be raised because dad has to be mom and dad all rolled into one, and that's not an easy task.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.supersingledads.com" target="new"&gt;http://www.supersingledads.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My book is a primer to being a successful parent and sets up the the new or "doing it for a while" dad with insights that come from over 30 years experience. Raising children is an artform that should not be taken lightly. In fact, Artfully Raising Children is not only about art that is so important in a child's life but the "artform" that is the way you raise your children.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My new book reveals real world techniques that you can learn and start implementing right away. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You'll learn things like:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Understanding the sounds your child makes no matter their age &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Meeting their needs while satisfying yours&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Being mom and dad and reconciling the two &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Discipline that makes sense for you and your child &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why lines must be drawn and enforced &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Maintaining a happy environment for you and your family &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Satisfying your need to form relationships outside the family dynamic &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sex and the Single Dad&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are just a few of the topics covered. I also cover things like what to feed your baby, how to control your emotions in a positive manner and even just how to maintain balance in your everyday life. That's a trick in itself when you're a single dad.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Does my book cover everything? Well, that would be impossible with a primer but it does cover enough ground to get you thinking in the right direction and gets you ready for my full volume book that I am completing filled with precise and incisive knowledge leading you towards being the best dad you can be for your children.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So go to my website today and pick up your copy of:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;THE SUPER SINGLE DAD; ARTFULLY RAISING CHILDREN&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.supersingledads.com" target="new"&gt;http://www.supersingledads.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's priced the same as a Ciabatta Burger with curly fries, a large coke and maybe a salad on the side. Plus you get bonuses too many to mention here. Just go to the website and get your copy today, right now while you're thinking about it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your kids are going to love you more for it and you'll have kids that will be raised artfully therefore more respectful and responsible as kids and as adults.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/925/902/1600/bonding_dad_son.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/925/902/320/bonding_dad_son.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;See that picture?

However, what happens in that space can mean the difference between &lt;em&gt;real communication &lt;/em&gt;that builds solid, meaningful and mere words exchanged or withheld.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Something that parents forget is that communication happens constantly, but you as a &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;SUPER SINGLE DAD&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;must always know that it happens &lt;u&gt;constanly&lt;/u&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;It happens with gestures, eye contact, touch, body language/posture, and facial expressions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Communication, and the modeling of that, begins right at the beginning, while your child is in the womb. Not all single dads have had the opportunity to do that because of their situation. But whenever you become completely responsible you start the &lt;strong&gt;ACTION &lt;/strong&gt;of communicating. This modeling of communication includes:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;singing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;playing and listening to music&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;reading&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;art&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;talking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;And if you were lucky to be around while your baby was in mamma's belly then rubbing, cooing and sitting quietly in meditation or prayer are all scientifically, &lt;strong&gt;and&lt;/strong&gt; through my experiences and all my children, PROVEN to affect &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;BOTH PERSONALITY AND I.Q.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;"&gt;In my e-book, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;THE SUPER SINGLE DAD; ARTFULLY RAISING CHILDREN &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I will cover these and many other &lt;u&gt;inside secrets&lt;/u&gt; helping you become the &lt;strong&gt;Super Single Dad &lt;/strong&gt;that your children will look up to and respect all the rest of your life, and theirs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Please sign up to receive my newsletters and the announcement that I will send out in the next few days for my new product, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;THE SUPER SINGLE DAD; ARTFULLY RAISING CHILDREN.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20501695-114774162892836635?l=super-singledad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://super-singledad.blogspot.com/feeds/114774162892836635/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20501695&amp;postID=114774162892836635&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20501695/posts/default/114774162892836635'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20501695/posts/default/114774162892836635'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://super-singledad.blogspot.com/2006/05/communication-with-your-kids.html' title='Communication With Your Kids'/><author><name>Jorge</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18118419930097174887</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lEfFl9WsacQ/S41tMPVIpxI/AAAAAAAAALI/kuPir8BcRfg/S220/profile_pic_black_cross.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20501695.post-114185762864646259</id><published>2006-03-08T14:19:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-05-15T19:51:39.786-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ways for the single dad to make money.</title><content type='html'>Being a single dad raising your children without the other parent's help is rewarding and daunting at the same time. Not only do you have the responsibility of raising them artfully, but you have to find ways to bring income into the household.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last week or so, I received an email from a single dad who is an at home dad struggling to make ends meet. Normally, I get them asking for a hand out and not a hand up, basically wanting me to do everything and just hand them a check. I have to laugh at that because it's the something for nothing mentality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This young man who emailed me this week was different. He was not asking me to save his life or send him money. He was not asking me to take responsibility for his success or trying to blame me for his failure. He was simply asking for honest advice and that is exactly what I gave him and what I will share with you now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now these resources you can do one at a time or in conjunction with each other. Some are free and some cost money but you will succeed with them if you just apply yourself. The young single dad did and is grateful I set him straight; and up. :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;a href="http://www.jorgearguello.com/biz_op.html"&gt;www.jorgearguello.com/biz_op.html&lt;/a&gt; This is a website that has many resources that will help you to automate your business, create emails and autoresponder messages, help you create sales letters and even COOL LITTLE WEBSITES that generate cash for you.

This blog and the products, tools and exercises I provide you will enhance your skills as a father taking you to the level of a Super Dad. Your kids will look up to you, listen, learn and emulate you and in turn will become children you can be proud of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a road not easily maneuvered but through all the bumps, holes, twists and turns, you’ll find the path to being a better parent despite the fact that you are going it alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, why would you listen to me? Because I’m a single dad too, and I still am. I’ve been raising my kids since they were born, on my own, &lt;b&gt;without their mother’s help&lt;/b&gt; so I totally understand what you go through day in and day out. My kids are in their last two years of High School and one, the senior, is about to turn 18 years of age; a legal adult here in California.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both are honor students in the Advanced Placement Program, a scholastic program awarding them college credits towards the college or university of their choice. It’s like being in college while still in high school. They’re both good kids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tell you this not just to brag, (hey, I’m proud of them) but to show you that you can raise children to adulthood . . . children that you can be proud of while maintaining a loving and respectful relationship with them that you carry throughout the rest of your lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;I have over thirty years experience&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; either raising children or helping someone else raise their children. I’ve covered the field of being in a “love relationship” with a mom and their child or children, helping raise a couple of my younger brothers for my mom, as well as raising my own kids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of those kids that I helped raise are mature adults with their own children and they are raising their own kids properly too, the “super single dad” way. Actually all of them are happily married incorporating the things learned from my experiences. That is what will happen for you and your children too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve raised my children &lt;b&gt;“without their mom”&lt;/b&gt; around at all in their lives. Even though many see this as unfortunate, it actually works in your favor. This is a topic of discussion we will do at a later time but suffice it to say that if you are a father without the active participation of the other parent, raising your child will be smoother &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;and&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; more effective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This site is for all single dads but especially for the single father that has not the other parent present in his or their children’s lives at all. I intend to guide, instruct, and help you every way I can and turn you into a Super Dad for your children. Welcome and let’s get started.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20501695-113883952402560247?l=super-singledad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://super-singledad.blogspot.com/feeds/113883952402560247/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20501695&amp;postID=113883952402560247&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20501695/posts/default/113883952402560247'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20501695/posts/default/113883952402560247'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://super-singledad.blogspot.com/2006/02/introduction.html' title='An Introduction'/><author><name>Jorge</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18118419930097174887</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lEfFl9WsacQ/S41tMPVIpxI/AAAAAAAAALI/kuPir8BcRfg/S220/profile_pic_black_cross.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
