Step-Parenting Bundle
The Stepfamily bundle is comprehensive and practical and an excellent resource for couples. Stepfamilies allow parents to restore any losses that children may experience through a divorce, a parent’s death, or a never-married parent who is now in a relationship. Couples who understand how to support each other’s responsibilities as biological and stepparent will establish more profound levels of trust and respect in their relationship. Children thrive in a home where trust, respect, nurture, and playfulness are active in their parents’ relationship. The resources that couples receive are practical and formational.
