Summary: Create a Thriving Environment for Children in Mixed Families
Comment: So many families today are "blended" with new marriages, children from previous marriages, and for the sake of the CHILDREN this book provides pivotal information to help parents and step-parents deal with the everyday problems that are most common and in need of resolution.
This book covers areas such as: "Mistakes are Opportunities to Learn" as opposed to just go on making more mistakes that can ultimately but unknowingly hurt the children. Open and healthy communication with the natural parent of the children; Taking children out of the middle; treating the other parent with respect; Avoiding alienation; "Don't be a Disneyland Parent;" Nonverbal communication; "If the adults are creating conflict - stop it!" "If the child is creating conflict - Understand it!"
Even if you learn just one thing that will make a positive difference in the psychological health and self-esteem of the children, or learn a new method of positive discipline that will help your child overcome a negative pattern, this book is worth buying.
This book is especially useful for families where there is a communication breakdown, either with the children, or either of the natural parents or step- parents. Highly Recommended!
Barbara Rose, author of, 'Individual Power' and 'If God Was Like Man'

Summary: Can't recommend the book
Comment: THis is the first book I read on blended families and was very annoyed by the patronizing style of writing, the artificial dialogues used to illustrate a point and the concepts portrayed.
Better books are out there, check out Kevin Leman with his humorous approach and engaging examples.
Best regards
Michael and Kristin

Summary: "so true" situations
Comment: I picked this book off the library shelf to help me be a better stepmother. The more I read, the more it educated me on good and bad behavior between divorced parents and how they "mistreat" their childs relationship with the non-custodial parent(s). As is in my husband's case. If you have an ex-spouse and children, this book speaks the truth on how to act and not act.
