RE: Vocab-ability Numbers–362 (mono, uni = 1, one) – A More Powerful Vocabulary (earn UpVotes with “Vocab Practice” exercise)
MY VOCAB PRACTICE
When I was a child we visited my Aunt in Sydney and rode the monorail which at that time was quite new and exciting compared to the usual train and tram systems.
She expected her new data entry role to be quite monotonous but she consoled herself with knowing it was only a temp role.
It was quite fortunate the monomaniac was able to utilise his obsession with books and was able to gain employment as a Library Assistant.
The school agreed to enforce a uniform policy to protect the children and make them easily identifiable after a school excursion incident which resulted in several students going missing for a period of time.
To help unite individual players, the coach decided to take everyone on weekend retreat filled with games and exercises to develop trust, improve morale and many other team building activities.
The parent corporation needed a plan to unify several of its new subdivisions in order to attain optimum performance levels from each.
Some believe unilateral parenting puts children at a disadvantage developmentally as they are essentially missing out on the balance that can only be provided by both a mother and a father figure working together.

Good work!
p.s. I had never heard the phrase "unilateral parenting." It's quite interesting.
Thank you 😊
p.s. Me either, I thought of it as I was writing my sample sentences and it just made sense to me - consider "parenting" 2 sided as
a) requires 2 to become a parent in the first place, and
b) core differences between men&women/father&mother traditional roles and the unique skills/attributes contributed by each -
and with 'unilateral' pertaining to one side, you combine them and end up with single parents!....(or maybe one of them is just not as involved for whatever reason...)

Hmm, that little anecdote makes me believe you are a writer, to whom words come to, out of the blue. Of course, background knowledge and further research is necessary, but after you attain / do that, it's interesting how ideas and words come to us.
As for unilateral parenting, I've met many single parents, in various countries, and I've found that most of them manage to do a very effective job of parenting. The number of people doing the parenting is largely irrelevant; it's the quality of the parenting that makes the difference.
Haha well I wouldn't go so far as to call myself a 'writer' but I do enjoy it and my whole life I've been doing various writing activities, I even used to run my own little 'word of the day' exercise at work....that's why I like participating in the vocab-ability - it's like the ultimate 'word of the day' activity!
I agree entirely, there are many capable, effective, single parents in the world raising well rounded children, hence why my sentence starts with 'some' believe.... We all know men and women are 'wired' differently and each has their traditional role to play, but in this day and age we are no longer bound by these traditions and as is with all living creatures who survive in this world, we have evolved and are able to fulfil the needs of our future generations in many other ways.....hmm, got a bit too wordy there at the end LOL....
