Navigational Skills for Stepfamilies

Navigational Skills for Stepfamilies: The WorkbookA 4-D roadmap to assist in navigating the tricky waters of Stepfamily life "I was interviewed for this book by Christina, and to see how my anecdotal points of reference have been brought to life within the framework of her "roadmap" for Stepfamilies is remarkable. I grew up a part of two stepfamilies, one highly functional, and one very dysfunctional, and looking back to 30+ years ago, I have always blamed the wrong people (myself included) for the failures and successes of each family. The "blending" of the two families was always rife with animosity and tension. Christina manages to create a 4D roadmap (including the role that time plays in the equation) that everyone can embrace as both guidance for those on the wrong path, and reassurance for those on the right path but who are still experiencing some self-doubt. I would recommend this to all stepfamilies, and even to those considering divorce, so that they can fully understand the broader implications of their actions and decisions."~ Schuyler Wickes "Navigational Skills for Step Families" So much valuable information that is very important for me to know in order to raise healthy children. Information that can help lead to healthy foundations for my children's future. Very easy to follow, understand and is full of interesting facts/statistics. I feel like I am not alone out there within my step family situation. Finally, some help and guidance to step family life. Most of the time, I just didn't recognize why things were happening or even how to help it. Not only did I learn why grown-ups and children behave the way they do, but I also discovered better skills and new ideas in dealing with my children and their step family situation. I've learned some eye opening things about myself as a mother and my own mother which was good and not so good; but I understand more clearly. I can handle it better."~Lenna Pacheco
