There are so many single parents around the world. It’s kind of hard to believe that so many children grow up with only one parent considering the past how it was with children. You’re so use to seeing two parent happy homes. Did you know that there were about 12 million single parent homes and that more than 80% were held up my single mothers. Today as of 2017 one in four children that are under the age of 18, totaling about 17.4 million are being raised by single mothers. African-Americans are rated the highest and more than 57.6% of fathers are absent. This study shows that some children that come from single parent homes may be as successful or even more successful than children that come from two parent homes. This is said because it could be more or a motivation and more of a internal mind thing to prove to that parent that they could do anything without them this of course is for the children that have parents that just abandoned them. Knowing that I come from a single parent home held up by my mother this information is very accurate. You learn from things like this such as situations in life and shows you how to be stronger as a person. Normally the single parent would be very, very protective of their child or children. This generally is very normal because this parent wouldn’t want their child to go through the experiences they’ve went through. As a young adult that comes from a single parent home this is very understanding and very accurate.

A lot of parents would like to protect their chil(d)refrom any harm at all times. Generally most fail more children go through traumatic experiences than they’re supposed to. If any child goes through something like that. The best thing the parent could do would be to give the child assurance that everything is ok. It would really be best to give your child space and not to be so aggy about the situation. If they don’t want to talk about it then maybe just leave it at. It takes sometime to open up when something tragic happens. Notice the signs of things like behavior and attitude change in your child to understand that something may be seriously wrong. Don’t ignore the signs.

When you think of the rain forest, what comes to mind? Learning how to survive in general could be huge and could even help in life situations. One question someone could ask their self, what food am I able to eat? Knowing that some fruit has to be cleaned and processed through. Foods that would be safe for someone to eat would be acai berries, passion fruit, bananas, mangos, papaya, tomatoes, grapefruit, guava figs, avocado, pineapple and coconuts. Its also important to keep water in your system. Now being in the rain forest you won’t really find any clean water unless you clean it yourself. You could boil your water to make sure you can get at least some of the bacteria and dirty particles out. So to make sure random things aren’t in your water, more than likely you’ll want to start a fire to keep warm and to be a signal incase anyone comes to your rescue and with using the fire you could bring your water to a boil to get dirty particles and bacteria out.

Being in the rain forest there are a lot of plants and animals that should just be left alone for your own safety. With some animals being poisonous and some can kill you, you would probably want to know what to stay away from. Major animals to watch out for would be piranhas, boa constrictors, jaguars, and poisonous arrow frogs. Arrow Frogs in particular need to be avoided they usually live on the forest floor and any contact with an arrow frog is deadly. In addition to that you should also try to keep skin covered to avoid insect bites from happening, it would be very difficult to deal with insect bites while stranded with no resources to care for yourself.

Believe it or not there are stories of people actually surviving in the rain forest. Shannon Fraser, who is now 30, went missing on September 21. She was in Australia at the time with her partner.  When she was found she was reported to have lost a lot of weight. She was covered in scratches but surprisingly she was in good sprits once she was found. She lost nearly 17 kilos (37 pounds). Her experiences were really interesting for the world to know of. She came face-to-face with a giant cassowary flightless bird and got chased by a 6 1/2 foot freshwater crocodile, she was so severely sunburnt that she had to repeatedly submerge herself in a stream to cope with the pain. When she was found she was admitted into a hospital, she was reported to be dehydrated and had a few broken bones. She was in the hospital in intensive care for two weeks. She is now with her three children and is doing well. Considering what she has been through she will indeed suffer from being traumatized and will receive free therapy treatments.
