One of Life’s Toughest Challenges…Being a Single Dad.

Could there be a more challenging assignment for a man than to become a new single dad with children at home? I can’t imagine! It does not matter if you have lost a spouse due to death, abandonment, divorce, or whatever, the transition is daunting. Let me help. I am a New York/New Jersey area child psychologist Dr. Steven Sussman.

Here are some tips –

 

1.  Establish regular routines.

2.  If you are a dad with a daughter, help her find good female role models.

3.  Dole out household chores.

There are many more scenarios of course, and there will be a certain amount of “testing the boundaries” to be sure. My name again, is Dr. Steven Sussman and I have been practicing from my office in Mountainside, NJ for 30 years. Please let me help you through this trying time. Virtual sessions are now available.
