Opis

Steps Are What You Walk On - a guide to help blend step families. Written by Rick and Patricia Crosier with a surprise message from each of their children: Shannon, Nicole, Josh and Jason.
Steps Are What You Walk On is all about relationships. Relationships start from the first meeting and move in a positive or negative direction from that point on. Blending a step family takes hard work and needs a well thought out deliberate plan. You need a plan, a mindset that enables you not only to deal with each new situation, but to deal with it effectively, selflessly and at times even graciously.
Almost everything we do in life is done by choice; ours or someone else's. The choices you make will directly affect the outcome of your blended family. You have the power within you to create either a loving peaceful environment for your family to flourish in or a devastating dysfunctional atmosphere for them to try to survive in. To succeed we believe in honesty, facing problems head on, dealing with them and then moving forward. Ignored issues and heartfelt problems don't go away on their own, they usually just get bigger. In Steps Are What You Walk On we share our deepest pains as well as our greatest victories. We have written on 33 different topics: including everything from dealing with divorce to discipline children, from hard core financial struggles to dealing with teenagers, and what we felt was the most emotionally stressful of all: sharing your children's confirmations, graduations, and weddings with your ex-spouses and their families. We have tried to provide a helpful guide to navigate the journey ahead, for it is our sincere desire to have you succeed like we were able to do.Is it easy? No. Is it worth it? Absolutely!
