Description

Step-parents and divorced co-parents need resources about how to work together in parenting children after remarriage. Stepfamily life is especially difficult when there is ongoing conflict between homes, and this guide shows parents the easiest ways to control the tension. The book is intentionally written in a highly readable style that is supportive and down to earth. All parents in new relationships should read it. The book begins with a chapter on the emotional effects of separation and divorce on children and parents. Then it takes the reader through the process of recoupling, and outlines pitfalls and dangers new spouses frequently encounter. The most common parenting mistakes are described in a chapter on problem patterns that experts see most often, so interested readers can avoid errors in their parenting from the beginning. This modern co-parenting guide is thorough and concise, covering specific challenges such as handling child discipline, living together without remarrying, parental alienation, problems between step-sibilings and issues with money. The author specifies rules and guidelines for structuring the parental relationships when adults in two homes are involved. Most importantly, advice is couched in supportive and encouraging language, to make the difficult tasks of co-parenting across homes easier.
