	Study: Single-Parent Kids Suffer More Psychiatric Illnesses (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Children were considered to be living in a single-parent household if they were living with the same single adult in both the 1985 and 1990 housing census.
		The scientists found that children with single parents were twice as likely as the others to develop a psychiatric illness such as severe depression or schizophrenia, to kill themselves or attempt suicide, and to develop an alcohol-related disease.
		However, other experts questioned the financial influence, saying Swedish single mothers are not poor when compared with those in other countries, and suggested that quality of parenting could also be a factor.

	Single Parent Travel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The most common mistake made by travel agencies, tour operators, and resort hotels is to assume that the travel needs and desires of single parents are exactly the same, or similar to, the needs of double parent families traveling together with their kids.
		Single parents often seek different agendas and must be twice as organized, twice as patient, and twice as creative to have a successful and fun trip with their kids.
		My kids' pediatrician, who is a global adventure traveler like us, once told me when you travel with kids, spend 1/3 of your time doing activities that they like, 1/3 doing what you like, and 1/3 of your time doing things you all like.

	Single-Parent Cruising; Cruisemates Family Cruising
		A single mom, TB, notes that “having all the basics included in your up-front costs (food, snacks, youth program) makes it easier to budget than a land trip.” She added that if you’re on a tighter budget, you can plan your trip for a time when fares are lower (such as in the fall).
		The biggest drawback to cruising with kids as a single parent is that you have to pay a full second-person fare for one of your children or teens, unless you bring another adult friend or relative as the second person.
		C., a single dad, pointed out that on their Disney cruise, dinner was very enjoyable because they were seated with another family, whereas it was a little less comfortable on another cruise line when they were seated with an older couple.

	Welcome - Responsible Single Fathers
		The most inaccurate portrayal we have seen of a single father definition is the one that implies a single father is only one who has full custody of their children.
		Many single custodial mothers detest others referring to their children's other parent as "Dad, Father, or even Parent." In these cases, the mother's are maintaining that the terms reflect something more than a label of biological connection, with the feeling that they also reflect a level of nurturing, concern, or love in their use.
		The good news is Responsible Single Fathers is open to all these dads, as well as moms and other people interested in working together to better our relationships so we can nurture, love, and support (financially and emotionally) our kids.

	Experts: Kids Most Need Resources, Stable Home
		Children raised by single mothers are far more likely to be poor than those with two parents.
		Studies show children raised by a single mom are more likely to engage in sexual activity earlier, to display violent behavior, abuse drugs and alcohol, commit suicide, have emotional and gender identification problems, perform poorly in school, drop out of school, commit a crime and go to jail.
		William O'Hare, coordinator of the Kids Count project at the Baltimore-based Annie E. Casey Foundation, believes that poverty is only part of the explanation for the difficulties faced by children in single parent homes.

	Covering The Uninsured: Kids in Single-Father Households More Likely to Lack Health Insurance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Just over 20 percent of single children living in single-father households were uninsured for all of 2001, compared with 17 percent in single-mother/single-child households and 10 percent in single-child/married-couple households.
		According to Genevieve Kenney of the Urban Institute, poor single fathers may not know about public assistance programs or may not be willing to apply for help.
		The decline is attributed to the implementation of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) in 1997, which subsidizes coverage to more than five million kids, according to the article.

		By contributing classes and content for kids and teachers around the world, you are helping to shrink the global village and allow kids from all over to 'meet you and your class', enjoy a rich education and help teachers everywhere develop effective classes for their own kids.
		The kids are enthusiastic, motivated (by the labs) to do the job quickly and as a result, piles of working PCs are often built by their efforts at developing their own 'super' PC.
