Blended Families- Suggestions to Help


Blended Families- Suggestions to Help

Identify problems and create conflict resolutions together as a couple 

Come to agreements on visitations, transportation, communication to former spouses and partners, and financial obligations   


Respectfully verbalize problems and feelings

Discuss discipline, former partners, and financial matters privately away from the children

Talk positively and respectfully about former spouses and partners

Stipulate that family members do not need to love everyone in their new family but that they do need to demonstrate respect

Allow children to verbalize their feelings 
and frustrations with being a blended family and -with how their visitations went with their other parent
