Inevitably, these newly blended \"stepfamilies\" will be confronted by their own special problems and needs.This insightful problem-solving guide offers solid solutions--and includes real-life stories from families who've been through the adjustment process. Written by an award-winning author who specializes in health and family care, the book covers a wide range of issues--emotional, financial, disciplinary, and interpersonal. Naturally, there is no \"one-size-fits-all\" solution for second-marriage families. Each is unique, with its own composition, personalities, and problems. But with patience and understanding, this new family can work, live, and eventually love--together.Includes special sections on: \u003cbr\u003e* Family communication\u003cbr\u003e * Former spouses\u003cbr\u003e * Grandparents and step-grandparents\u003cbr\u003e * Juggling households\u003cbr\u003e * Commuting children\u003cbr\u003e * Discipline\u003cbr\u003e * School issues\u003cbr\u003e * Family customs and rituals\u003cbr\u003e * Religious differences\u003cbr\u003e * Reducing stress\u003cbr\u003e * Adult time\u003cbr\u003e * Money issues\u003cbr\u003e * Holiday planning\u003cbr\u003e * Vacations\u003cbr\u003e * Curfews and other rules\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elaine Fantle Shimberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0425166775\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780425166772\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berkley \/ Nal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.95h x 5.94w x 0.57d","brand":"Elaine Fantle Shimberg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46526197072127,"sku":"9780425166772","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_43664b4f-c0e3-4719-a42f-1402730b2baf.jpg?v=1737555471","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blending-families-elaine-fantle-shimberg-9780425166772","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
