Avoid stepfamily missteps
It takes time for a stepfamily to become a cohesive family unit, says Houston psychologist James Bray, Ph.D., in a Parents magazine article. Although you should prepare yourself for conflict, here are tactics to bring you closer:
• Put your marriage first. A strong stepfamily depends on a strong marriage.
• Discuss discipline. "A stepparent needs to develop a relationship with his stepchild before he begins to play a role in discipline," Bray says. Once you have house rules, they must apply to all kids equally.
• Create one-on-one time with stepchildren.
