Blended/Single Parents

Blended/Step-family

A blended family or step-family forms when you and your partner make a life together with the children from one or both of your previous relationships. Some children may resist changes, while you as a parent can become frustrated when your new family doesn't function in the same way as your previous one.

Single Parenthood can bring added pressure and stress to the job of raising children. With no one to share day-to-day responsibilities or decision-making, single parents must provide greater support for their children while they themselves may feel alone. The following suggestions may help reduce stress in your family.
