by Robert H. Lauer, Ph.D. and Jeanette C. Lauer, Ph.D. Although they are more likely to break up than any other family, stepfamilies can succeed. Here are ten principles for effective stepparenting: Be involved, not detached, as a stepparent. Some stepparents try to deal with the daunting task by taking the approach of "I won't interfere with your life." Unfortunately, this approach says to the stepchild: "I don't care that much about what happens to you." Stepchildren may resist involvement, but they will benefit far more and form a better relationship with an involved than a detached stepparent. http://www.shpm.com/articles/parenting/survivestep.html |
