Today's statistics reveal that as much as 65 percent of all marriages end in divorce. Among divorced couples, more than 50 percent are parents; and many if not most of them will remarry. An overwhelming number of adults in our society have chosen to become stepparents. This book assumes that no matter who you are, and how much experience you've had with kids, becoming a stepparent, sometimes called the 'blending of families,' is difficult work.The book presents 8 Strategies, in the form of action steps, to maximize anyone's chances of success in this challenging endeavor. The authors are a married couple, and partners in their own blended family. They have also worked with hundreds of clients over twentythree years in their counseling practices. 'Being responsible for the daytoday physical, emotional and spiritual care of someone else's children takes a lot of guts,' they assert, it takes 'persistence, optimism, focus, and love for your new partner, enough to commit yourself to his or her children.' Use this book to discover how to:* create a 'parenting partnership'* move beyond resentment of or competition with the former spouse* examine and work with your unrealistic expectations about yourself and your kids* build new and happy memories with your stepchildren, while respecting their old ones* use the 'Family Hierarchy Ladder' to resolve many problems before they show up* get the help you need when 'things' or people break down.8 Strategies for Successful StepParenting is written in a nonapologetic voice, offering strong and specific direction to address current problemsincluding: how to create a BehaviorConsequence program with children who are acting out, and how to anticipate areas of conflict and confusion, like where to live and how to assign bedrooms to kids, as some livein permanently and some visit regularly.Vignettes of 30 reallife family situations support the strategies suggested. Issues and examples are applicable crossculturally, and address needs of both men and women. This book will empower readers to take up their new challenge with common sense, firmness and compassion; but most of all, with greater selfknowledgethe best strategy for success in any important task. And, as they assert, stepparenting is not only important, it is lifealtering.
