Very few people who live in a stepfamily would describe their daily experience as “blending.” Stepfamilies can be happy, thriving families, and good places to raise children. What it takes to make a strong stepfamily is very different from a first-time family. The good news is that we have lots of information about what does work, and about what doesn’t. Come learn research-based practical tips and effective guidelines for meeting the challenges, including: Supporting children (of all ages), handling discipline, being an effective stepparent, forging a strong couple relationship, making a new family culture, and dealing with the child’s “other parent.”
Patricia Papernow is an internationally recognized expert on stepfamilies and post-divorce parenting. She is a psychologist in her fourth decade of working with, teaching about, and writing about stepfamilies. Her most recent book, Surviving and Thriving in Stepfamily Relationships: What Works and What Doesn’t, will be available at the event.
