Life in a Blender - Paperback
Feeling caught in the blender's swirl? Living in a stepfamily can be confusing. Where will go be this weekend? Whose rules do you have to follow? And why do you have to treat these new kids kike they're your brothers and sisters when they're really not?
Ron L. Deal, founder of Smart Stepfamilies, will help you navigate life as a kid in a blended family. Learn how to handle the “Big Five” challenges—loss, sadness, fear, guilt, and confusion—and dilemmas kids in blended families often experience.
Stop the confusion and hurt of life in a blender. Instead, use this tool to form peaceful relationships that honor God. You may even find that this new family of yours can be filled with blessing.
The Smart Stepfamily - Paperback
Ron Deal explodes the myth of the "blended" family as he provides practical, realistic solutions to the issues that stepfamilies face. He helps remarried and soon-to-be married couples:
- Recognize the unique personality and place of each family member
- Solve the everyday puzzles of step parenting and stepchildren relationships
- Learn communication skills to deal with ex-spouses
- Honor families of origin while developing new traditions
- Invest the time to grow their stepfamily slowly rather than look for instant results
Based on Deal's nationwide stepfamily seminars, this book is also great for small groups, pastors, and counselors.
"Ron Deal has, by far, the best material available on stepfamilies. The insights and suggestions he shares work. Every stepfamily will benefit from reading this book." - H. Norman Wright, Licensed marriage, family, and child therapist, founder of Christian Marriage Enrichment, author
