Raising your own child from has to be hard enough. But when you come into a childs life, and their outlook, mannerisms, and attitude are already developed, it has to be even harder to be a step-parent. While there are hundreds, if not thousands, of parenting books on the market, I don’t know if I have ever seen a parenting tips guide for step parents. Which is why I decided to check this one out.It guides you through the important steps, while at the same time, giving you advice and encouragement. For example, one of the big things is to make sure you don’t force a relationship, wait for the relationship to create itself. That’s a really important step, since the child might not be ready, or even resent you for trying to replace their “real” parent. There is a lot of advice along those lines, to help you start a healthy relationship with your step child.I thought it was a very interesting read. I never thought about how much different the two parenting styles would have to be, but after reading this, I completely see where the differences are. I recommend this for any parent, but especially new, or soon to be, step parents.
