Claudette begins by sharing how her son didn’t see himself as a family and how this got her to think of different approaches to defining stepfamilies.

She emphasizes the importance of explaining complex concepts in a language that children can understand. The discussion shifts to the challenges of applying a growth mindset in stepfamilies and breaking stereotypes about broken families.

Claudette highlights the importance of seeing stepfamilies as a different kind of family and creating a supportive environment for all members.

They delve into the two types of mindsets, fixed and growth, and how cultivating a growth mindset can promote healthier interactions and problem-solving in stepfamilies.

They discuss the concept of a stepfamily micro-community, viewing the stepfamily as a cohesive group within a larger community and the importance of including all parents.
