Blending Families responds to the need for a book that explores
step-parenting by starting with the marriage as the central
relationship in a new blended family unit. Just as you are better
able to help your child in an airplane emergency if you put your
oxygen mask on first, you are better able to blend two families if
you take care of the marriage first. Starting with a discussion of
attachment styles, the authors explore how those styles translate
into the new family unit when trying to forge a new marriage while
parenting tween and teen children in a family unit that is new to
them as well. They provide parenting guidance premised on the fact
that parenting occurs within a context, and in this case, a context
that is unfamiliar territory for everyone involved. Using true
stories throughout, they explore the variety of challenges that may
arise, such as sibling rivalry, puberty, dating, emotional and
intellectual differences, and preferential treatment, and offer
suggestions for overcoming obstacles to fully blending. By focusing
the light on the marriage as the most important source of
stability, the authors encourage readers to develop a style of
parenting that works for everyone and brings a sense of unity and
strength to the household.
