Relationship
Practical
Spiritual

Personalities
Ron says, In blended families, the biological parent and stepparent must work hard to find their harmony, to support one another, and to play to one another's strengths.
and
Since authority is based on relationship and trust with the child, stepparents should move gradually into a relationship first, then discipline.
Those are just two small nuggets he shares.
In today's podcast, Ron also answers questions from my readers, such as how to handle jealousy from kids when two parents who have children from previous relationships have a child together.
If you're in a blended family ... or you know someone who is ... tune in!
