Assuming Their Other Parent Is Involved By Anonymous 1. Relate to your stepchildren as if they are your biological children. 2. Hug them and kiss them a lot. 3. Invest the same time and money on your step kids as you do on your own children. 4. Always speak positively about your stepchildren's "other" parent or just keep quiet. 5. Be involved in your stepchildren's life. Help them with their homework; ask about their friends. 6. Share your life with your stepchildren. Tell them about your childhood. 7. Listen to your stepchildren, "check in" with them from time to time. 8. Hang out with them. 9. Discipline them with care. 10. Encourage closeness between your children and stepchildren. We are all one family. 11. Surprise them. 12. Be open and consistent. 13. Be watchful of your own behavior as much as your kid's. 14. Remember: they did not choose you, you chose them! |
