65: Other People's Kids
from Soul Forge Podcast Hosted by Shawn Vanderloo
Kids. Children. Offspring. Yours, mine, and ours. This week we tackle the topic of living with kids that aren't biologically yours . We are going to use the term step-parent even though many of the stories and situations do not necessarily involve marriage between the couple. Buidling a relationship with a step-child, Blended families and becoming a step-parent, How do these kids react and behave? The Brady Bunch Illusion - expectations versus reality Gender: How a man bonds with kids, How a woman bonds with kids, The gender of the child in relation to the gender of the step-parent, The age of the child/children will have a great impact on the relationship between the other person's kid(s) and the new step-parent. Discipline styles also differ and this can have an affect on the child. Supper, homework, and bedtime routines can be vastly different. Remember: communication, tolerance and understanding.
