Are any of your children struggling as a single parent?  It’s a hard role in today’s society, but there are rewards to single parenthood.  If you have gone through this role yourself, you can definitely help them out, but give advice only when they ask for it!  It hurts to see your child grapple with problems, educationally, financially or in the stability area.  Remember, as a Silver Fox, you are the older, wiser voice.  (Hint:  If you have not developed that older, wiser voice, do research on the Internet.  I do!)

TheParentingVoice.com has advice on setting limits financially and disciplining the child.  The website also suggests that single parents find support from family, friends and other groups, rather than going it alone.  Good advice.  Steering your child to the site can keep both of you from becoming overwhelmed as you deal with your grandchildren.
