Understanding Stepfamily Relationships - Mandurah

From Tips and Steps

Couples with children from previous relationships may need strategies. Strategies on communication, agreement on discipline – who spells out the rules and what the rules are – and on handling competing demands. It is just as important for couples to ensure that in a busy week there is time just for each other. This two session course covers:

the differences and uniqueness inherent in stepfamilies;
the need to let go of the past in order to devise mutual expectations, which requires good communication skills;
parents’ roles and challenges in the stepfamily, and the need to establish positive biological and step-parent roles;
what children experience and how they cope in stepfamilies;
nurturing the couple bond and development of conflict resolution skills particular to the stepfamily experience and
charting of stepfamily stages and the building of new stepfamily traditions.

Fee:	$45 per person, $50 per couple
