Your Kids, My Kids by Suzie Hayman

A practical guide to an increasingly common issue: how do I parent someone else's child? Many of the difficulties stepfamilies face are common to all families. But the extra load where relationships are broken and remade with children involved are many and complex. Using dynamic techniques - tips, games, discussion points, dialogue, quizzes, the author leads the reader through the minefield towards the ultimate goal. Not perfection, because no family, parent or child can be perfect; but to being good enough. The book covers topics such as: what is a stepfamily?; particular challenges - other members, schools, discipline, inheritance; striving to be good enough, rather than perfect; how to build a new family; other siblings; and sexuality.
Suzie Hayman is the agony aunt for Woman's Own and a Relate counsellor, broadcaster and author. She writes frequently for national magazines and newspapers and is the author of many books including YOU JUST DON'T LISTEN, THE RELATE GUIDE TO SECOND FAMILIES and MAKE YOUR HONEYMOON LAST.
