Count The Cost Pt. 2: Assert Your Value

If you don't assert your value, then your value will be assigned.  Before engaging in another dating relationship, single parents should allow significant time to heal, learn from mistakes, be attentive to child(ren), and re-establish their value.  Tools that can be used to assert value: 1. Behavior: Actions identify values.  2. Communication: Clarity concerning what the expectation is and what won't be accepted.  3. Progressive Work: Being in pursuit of something and heading in a specific direction.  4. Community: It's best to have people to support you and cover your blind spots.  The goal isn't to find someone that's good for a single parent and their child, the goal is to find someone that is right.
