Keys to Successful Stepmothering |
|
|
This fairly brief book doesn't spend a lot of time on
the philosophy of stepmothering, but instead, gets right to the
practical, nitty-gritty information that the reader can use
immediately. The real-life stepmom stories that appear on almost every
page are both enlightening and inspiring, spoken directly from the
heart.
The book covers many issues, ranging
from second weddings to money to the ex-wife. The "Tips for Merging New
Families" aren't new, but it can help sometimes to take a very basic
look at how you're approaching your role. There are also several
helpful chapters on discipline.
The
"Stepchild's Point of View" chapter is helpful, too, and and full of
insight straight from the kids. The book also touches on holidays,
vacations, stepsiblings and more. While it doesn't spend a lot of time
on any one topic, the broad range it covers provides some quick
guidance for the new or inexperienced stepmom.
The
"Survival Tactics" are up to-the-point and a good reminder of how we're
responsible for our own behavior and feelings. You'll probably also
learn something from the questions and answers at the end of the book.
