Parenting isn’t easy, and undertaking the journey alone is undeniably tougher. And, while we often laud single moms for doing it all effortlessly, single dads, too, deserve appreciation – and support and guidance. If you are a single dad or looking at being one, read on for tips that will help you tackle the challenges in your path.

#1 TAKE YOUR TIME

Actor-producer Tusshar Kapoor opted for surrogacy to become a father to son Laksshya Kapoor. He said in an interview that the bigger challenge came before he became a father – he had to first navigate his own doubts and work through them.

Whether you’re still planning on becoming a single parent or trying to navigate your way through the chaos, relax, take your time to figure things out before you rush into anything or make important decisions.

#2 TAKE HELP

Just because you’re a single parent doesn’t mean you have to face challenges alone. Director Karan Johar, who is a doting dad to twins Roohi and Yash, is ever so grateful for his mom Hiroo Johar’s constant and continued support. In an Instagram post, Karan shared how Hiroo co-parents the kids with him and how he could never have taken such a big decision without her by his side.
