Getting Married was the easy part! Now, as a parent in a stepfamily, you face a whole new set of challenges as well as all of the old ones. Sure, you still need to provide effective discipline and guidance while helping your children develop the skills and character they need for success. But parents in a stepfamily also face issues of: Coping with loss and healing. Blending two family histories. Merging values and traditions. Setting boundaries. Building new relationship. Transferring authority… and a host of other challenges!

FiveLoveLanguagesOfChildren

GaryChapmanSet:DVD,casseê,ParentAc6vityGuide

Does your child speak a different language? Sometimes they wager for your attention, and other times they ignore you completely. Sometimes they are filled with gratitude and affection, and other times they seem totally indifferent. Attitude. Behavior. Development. Everything depends on the love relationship between you and your child. When children feel loved, they do their best. But how can you make sure your child feels loved? Each child, too, expresses and receives love through one of five different communication styles. And your love language may be totally different from that of your child. While you are doing all you can to show your child love, he may be hearing it as something completely opposite. Discover your child’s primary language and learn what you can do to effectively convey unconditional feelings of respect, affection, and commitment that will resonate in your child’s emotions and behavior. . **This contains faith-based information.
