Respect your stepchild's relationship with their biological parents. Encourage and support their bond while maintaining and respecting healthy boundaries. #coparenting #StepParenting #healthyparenting #mentalhealth #love

Be patient and allow your relationship with your stepchild to develop naturally over time. Building trust and rapport takes patience, so give yourselves grace along the way. #StepParenting #Patience #parentingtips #parenting

Establishing boundaries is crucial to any healthy relationship, equally so, RESPECTING boundaries is the same. Listen to and respect your child's boundaries. Be present to listen when they want to talk, and respect when they don't. Step Into the space, but be patient.

Being kept alive as children isn't enough, surviving is not equal to thriving. We CAN thrive! Everyone experiences difficulties, but life isn't difficult. In life there is peace, there is joy, there is LOVE, and these things are essential to thriving

"My childhood wasn't that bad" is a common phrase, especially from people with complex trauma. We think, because we were told, that food and shelter are enough. There is though so much more to parenting, and life than just food and shelter.

You can disagree with someone without putting them down. You can listen to understand instead of listen to refute. Build bridges of understanding not chasms of divide. So check you bias, your assumptions & your fear/hate/ignorance at the door. Lead w/ empathy & love. 💚🤗🙏

Unfortunately, one of the biggest problems children in blended family face, is a lack of time and counselling to adjust to their parents separation. Children need to go through the stages of grief when their nuclear family breaks down. #family #parenting #parentingtips

Western cultures are having more and more children needing to cope with restructuring families, with divorce rates exceeding 40% in some of the most developed countries in the world, more children are grieving the breakdown of nuclear families. #parenting #blendedfamily

#Mastery is in the #basics. The ability to apply the basics in the most complex of situations. "The simplest solution, is usually the right one." In other words, when the situation is complex, the solution is usually quite simple. #foodforthought #inspiration #Parentingtips

✨Having harmony in the home starts with having harmony within, the power and effectiveness of breath work IN the moments of distress at home cannot be understated. 12 seconds in 6 seconds out, make sure your stomach is moving, not your chest.✨ #Breathwork #parenting

The best things in life, joy, love and peace, are all free, and all stem from connected relationship. #Life #ParentingTips #love
