Blended Family Breakthrough

19. How to Help Step-Siblings to Get Along Better


Listen Later

Have you experienced a bit of "step-sibling rivalry" in your home?

If you just stood up and screamed, "YES!" — this episode is for you.

Helping step-siblings find ways to connect and bond is both an art and a science.  It requires you to make some challenging assessments about your blended family's unique dynamics.  Plus, you'll need to paint a clear picture for all the kids about your family's values and behavioral expectations.

The truth is, you can't require kids to love (or even like) each other.  But you can influence the environment in your home in a way that creates opportunity for ALL the kids to connect.

In this episode, we'll help you discover some new ways to create that environment of connection you really want.  And we'll help you avoid some of the pitfalls that can sabotage bonding between step-siblings.
