Making Stepfamilies Work

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.

The six-week course (Weds 13 February through to 20 March) covers:
- stepfamily structure and complexity
- the normal stepfamily stages of development
- parents’ roles and challenges in the step family, and the need to establish positive biological and step-parent roles
- common emotional experiences and difficulties for children in stepfamilies
- nurturing the couple bond and development of conflict resolution skills particular to the step family experience
- passing on values in today's technological world
- the building of new step family traditions
