Do I Have What It Takes to Be A Parent?
Parenting can be a challenge, especially if you’re pregnant and weighing options. If you choose to parent your child, you likely have many questions. Certain skills are needed to be a parent. Children need a safe, stable home environment, education, medical care, food, clothing, and other necessities. You may be asking yourself the hard questions, including:
- How will I support my child financially?
- Can I continue school and raise a child?
- Will my partner support me?
- How will my parents react?
- How can I afford childcare?
- Where will I live?
- What will my friends think?
The list goes on. We’re here to help you find the answers to these parenting questions at Brazos Pregnancy Center. Talk to us today about your concerns and fears. Our caring team is here to listen and give input as well as parenting education.
Parenting in School
Parenting while continuing your education is not easy but it’s also not impossible with the right support. Many schools have expanded online options which give mothers a chance to continue school and raise a child. As culture shifts and technology expands, it becomes more welcoming of women raising children and pursuing their education and dreams.
