Single moms raising sons, and the impact of fatherlessness on boys is the topic for our panel tonight. For decades, the number of children in the United States living with a single parent has been climbing while marriage rates decline, and out of wedlock births increase as well.
Studies show that worldwide, the USA has the highest percentage of children being raised in single parent homes, with about 25% of those under 18 living with just one parent and no other adult. Usually the solo caregiver is the child's mother. Many fathers are nowhere to be found, or sporadically appear in their child's life.
What struggles will a boy encounter when his father is missing from his life? Can women alone raise a solid son with confidence, ambition, and high self esteem? What are the keys to success? What are the things a single mother should NEVER do or say when raising a son?
Our panel tonight consists of three fabulous speakers:
Nijaah Howard , aka Coach Mo~ The Single Mom’s Coach is a Christian and new release Author of Raising John's Boy & Dare to be Authentic Vol. 6, Mental health counselor, philanthropist, relational speaker, empowerment coach, mother, Editorial Director of THOUGHTS Magazines and President of Young Men Strong, LLC, an M/WBE certified umbrella company that embodies Professional Male Leaders and Businessmen who provides service to the sons of strong single mothers (10-17) and overburdened young men (18-24) from life's stressors (incarceration, foster care, homelessness, underemployed, OST, etc.) who come together to empower, educate, and engage through media, consulting, and mentoring.
