Blended Family Tips
If you are expecting marital success, then planning for success in your blended family, can be easier achieved with some environmental home tips:
- Set up open lines of communication for all family members
- Plan and practice verbal and non-verbal love affirmations of love – Actually say the words “I love you” and mean them
- Plan and reward good behavior with positive reinforcement – this applies to your children and to your spouse
- Establish clear house rules – everyone should be aware of what the house rules are and that they will be consistently enforced
- Organize a few hours a week of “whole family” time to bring everyone together to build family memories. Do this as early on as is possible.
Remember to:
- Be realistic
- Be patient AND
- Limit your expectations
