Stepfamilies All families have difficulties; children playing one parent against another, money issues, and parents finding time to be alone. Stepfamilies are no different. It takes up to three years for a combined family to start working like a family. Practice patience! For parents it is critically important that you come to terms with your past. New partners deserve someone who has explored the good and bad of a previous marriage. The emotional well-being of each person is important for a healthy, new marriage. SUGGESTIONS FOR STEP PARENTING Love your children no matter what. Provide an environment with rules, expectations, and limits. Remember that children don't always listen to you but they are always watching you. Modeling is important - remember to treat your former spouse civilly. Then your children will behave more civil themselves. The biological parent should be the primary disciplinarian. In time a stepparent has more authority. In the absence of the biological parent, the stepparent should have authority and support of the biological parent. The new parent may provide insight for a biological parent who's willing to listen. First time parents may want to take a parenting class.

Create an on-going pattern of communication with each other. Provide couple unity in family issues for the benefit of the children. Be aware of the different lifestyles and value systems, which are being combined into your stepfamily situation. Show the same respect FOR your stepchildren as you expect FROM them. Consider the combined children as “ours” and not “yours” or “mine.” Remember that your biological children know you better than your new spouse. Be aware of your overprotectiveness as a biological parent. Consider the children living apart from the new stepfamily as being as much a part of the stepfamily as those living within. Keep communication open, whenever possible, with ex-spouses for the sake of the children. Appreciate the individuality of each child in the stepfamily.

Equipping the divorced, stepfamilies and the local church T hough it took us a while we finally discovered the Brandy Bunch is only the figment of a TV producer’s imagination. Families today are not led by Ozzie and Harriet nor by Ward and June Cleaver. We were never like them. We never solved all of life's problems between commercials. Twenty-first century families come in all varieties. Because of the rate of divorce and the growing number of births to unwed mothers, the majority of children born today are expected to spend at least part of their childhood in a single-parent or a stepfamily. Shared custody, remarriage and stepparenting issues make today's family not only a challenge to our communities, but for any church. Pressures from life can be painful and knowing which way to go for help can be confusing. New Direction Ministry is dedicated to serving the Christian community by providing practical, Biblical resources, support and counsel to single, divorced and remarried individuals, their families and the churches who minister to them. New Direction is pro-marriage and considers divorce only as a last option.

I am presently looking at child abuse statistics comparing married stepfamilies and de-facto relationships. Many researchers appear to combine the two categories, which then does not portray a true picture of the situation. Does any now of any research which looks into this area by comparing the abuse rates for each category. Also whether any research has looked at child abuse in de-facto relationships with relation to the age of the relationship. It would appear on the surface that a number of child abuses cases happen within the first year or two of the defacto relationship. Looking forward to your responses.

Why is Remarriage and Stepfamily Life So Challenging? We live in an era of broken world relationships. Drugs, alcohol, abuse, family violence, lack of consistent love or guidelines etc. take a toll on individuals as they grow up in non-nurturing and unhealthy families. Marriages made up of individuals from unhealthy families generally repeat the patterns they have learned. At least half of marriages and over half of remarriages fail in the first seven years. Over 80% of divorced or widowed individuals remarry. Others, and the number is growing, choose to "live together," thinking that if they are not married, they won't repeat the same mistakes they or their parents made.

News You Can Use University Relations News Bureau (662) 325-3442 Contact: Mary Rickles July 13, 1998 STARKVILLE, Miss.-New stepfamilies face a score of challenges, but most problems can be overcome with adequate communication, says a family development specialist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service. "Many people don't know how to deal with problems of combining families," says Louise Davis. "Problem solving is the key to bringing stepfamilies together." Davis recommends setting aside a specific time each day to discuss problems or talk. Discussing small matters may prevent major problems from developing later. Davis offers some additional tips for helping blended families develop strong bonds: Reassure children. Children have a hard time understanding the concept of time and loss. Allow them, as well as yourself, time to mourn losses. Because additional stress may fall on children who feel they are the reason for the divorce, parents must watch for personality and behavior changes that may signal stress. Divide responsibilities. With everyone's participation, decide who's responsible for specific duties in a new family unit. For instance, while one parent can be the primary disciplinarian, both should agree on the types of discipline that will be used.

We loved the Brady Bunch, but that was before we discovered how unreal they were. Now that stepfamilies embrace one of three children and, one way or another, impact the vast majority of Americans, we can't seem to get past seeing them as the spawn of failure, the shadow side of our overidealized traditional family. When we think of them at all, we see only what they are nothence their designation as "nontraditional" families, heaped and unwed moms, gay parents, and other permutations that make up the majority of families today. By the year 2000, stepfamilies will outnumber all other family types.

Stepfamilies Helping Children with Stepfamilies Insights Into Childhood By Fred Rogers with Barry Head Stepparents and Loyaties When a child moves in with a stepparent, or a stepparent moves in with a child, we can be sure that everyone who's a part of that family is going to have some new, strong feelings to deal with. A stepparent usually arrives in a child's life following a loss like a divorce or a death. And of course, such losses give rise to a lot of grief and anger. While working on those feelings, a child may draw more dependently close to the parent he or she lives with. If it's the father who has gone, a child may see Mommy as more "mine" than ever. (That sense of tight togetherness came through in a letter we received from a child not long ago who said: "I live with my mommy. We are divorced from my father".) A home with grief, anger and possessiveness would be a hard one for anyone to enter, let alone a stepparent who is likely to introduce a new set of conflicts over loyalty.

We tried to acknowledge her feelings, but we also told her that my new husband was here to stay."
