Thriving as a Blended Family - Part 1 with Guest Ron Deal
Did you know that 40% of parents raising children under the age of 18 are members of stepfamilies? Some might even say the non-traditional family is the new traditional family. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Ron Deal, author of "Preparing to Blend: The Couple’s Guide to Becoming A Smart Stepfamily," contends that combining families does not have to be like oil and water. He encourages parents to be empathetic with their step kids.
