FACES NEEDS YOU!
When I founded F.A.C.E.S. in 1988, it was because the children of Orange County desperately needed our help.
Each year, in Orange County alone, 420,000 cases of child abuse are reported. We do not know how many unreported cases there are, because when a child witnesses any domestic toward mother or any member of the family, THAT is also child abuse. It is abuse that mars and impacts a child for life. Your support of $25.00 means a counseling session for a family in need. Help us help families.
It's not child labor if they're your kids
Team building eases the burden on single parents.
You and the kids have 10 minutes to leave for school and work. The milk is out, the house is disorganized, lunches aren't made. And it all falls on you. But does it have to?
Single mothers and fathers stress about parenting without back-up. Consider such time crunches as the morning get-out-of-the-house ritual. Too often the parent finds it easier to do everything than to engage their child in helping activities. Yet they know that learning to be self-sufficient is important to the child's development.
Time sharing tips for single parents
It takes effort for divorced parents to avoid fighting and snooping.
Too many parents fight over the details of child sharing and forget to focus on what is really important, the child's needs and feelings.
Unfortunately, it seems to be, "You are getting more time than I am" or "You are inconveniencing me." Translated to the child: "I am a lot of trouble to my parents."
