How can you make a blended family work?
THERE are a growing number of blended families making it work across the world, with some even taking the extra step and living together.
And in a post on Supernanny websiteclinical psychologist Dr Victoria Samuel revealed three of her top tips for making a blended family work and avoiding common blended family pitfalls.
Prepare for intense feelings
“For a new blended family to be formed, an original family must break up, so it is normal for children to experience intense and sometimes overwhelming feelings: anger, disappointment, sadness, grief, guilt, worry and insecurity,” he said. she.
“When parents remarry or move in with a new partner who has children from a pre-existing marriage, the child faces new threats to their sense of stability.”
To help with this process, be sure to accept and listen to all of your children’s feelings “without judging or suggesting immediate solutions,” and “convey an acceptance of their experiences with concern and empathy.”
Combine parental roles
“It is absolutely crucial to show a united front,” said Dr. Victoria.
“Younger family members need to know that the rules will be applied consistently and fairly, by both adults, to all children in the family.”
In an attempt to present a “consistent approach”, take time to “openly discuss your parenting values with your new partner”.
“Talk about these beliefs you have about family life: what behavior you expect and what you don’t tolerate,” she added.
Promote a problem-solving approach
“A great way to avoid simmering resentment is to organize regular family meetings,” suggested Dr. Victoria.
“Take turns to chair the meeting and avoid interruptions and shouting with the pass the stone technique: to be able to speak at the meeting, the ‘stone’ (a pen or apple or whatever you have on hand!) has to be in your hands of the speaker.
“There is only one stone, so only one person speaks at a time.”
She continued: “People don’t understand, they think we’re crazy, but we know we’re no good without each other.”
