I need help!

We often get asked general questions from our readers, such as "How should I respond to my pregnant daughter?", "Help! Our daughter is pregnant," "Christian parents with a pregnant teen," "Advice? Teen daughter pregnant," "Daughter is single and pregnant," "Please help, my daughter is pregnant," "Parents dealing with daughter's pregnancy," "Spiritual advice for parents of a pregnant teen," "First words to say to pregnant Christian daughter?" "Christian response to a pregnant teen," "Help me cope with my daughter's pregnancy," "Advice for mothers with young pregnant daughter?", "What to do when your teen gets pregnant?"

Answering these kinds of questions is exactly why we wrote the book "How To Survive Your Teen's Pregnancy: Practical Advice for the Parents of a Pregnant Christian Single" and exactly why we write this blog.

Here are 10 important points for the parents of a pregnant single:
  1. Assure your daughter of your unconditional love and concern.
  2. Get your daughter to a supportive pro-life doctor as soon as possible.
  3. Provide a peaceful environment.
  4. Research and talk about all her current healthy options: Marriage, single parenting, choosing a family to adopt her child.
  5. Help your pregnant daughter look to her future in 5 and 10 years.
  6. Let her know you value education.
  7. Clearly state in what ways you are willing to be involved in her life and the life of her child.
  8. Live out your values clearly and consistently.
  9. Stay connected to your spouse, other children, family and friends.
  10. Grow spiritually yourself by staying involved in church life.
