About this listen

Stepparenting isn't the easiest job, but it can be most rewarding if you get it right.

If you are a stepparent, you may know how challenging a role it can be. It takes more than the will to make it work. Stepparents must apply a range of skills to keep their families together, and they have to be prepared to be flexible in the process.

This guide for stepfamilies outlines seven key factors that are often overlooked but have an adverse effect on stepfamilies. They are neatly arranged in the acronym BLUNDER—which is precisely what stepparents do when they fail to address or ignore the cited factors. Contemporary society is overrun with demands on parents who have to juggle a range of roles. But, if you pay attention to the elements outlined, the difference will be noticeable as you navigate this challenging but potentially enriching role.

And even if you think you've tried everything, consider these factors. You'll be surprised to find that these simple changes can make an impactful difference.

I really resonated with this book. The author does such a great job of explaining through so many different situations and perspectives and the ways they can affect a family, both positively and negatively.
Building a relationship from a level of friendship rather than trying to insert yourself as a disciplinarian or authoritative figure.
I really do recommend this audiobook if you’re part of a blended family.

Excellent book

Although I have never been in a stepfamily situation, I can understand how difficult it can be for stepfamilies to adjust and accommodate. The author does a great job exploring and elaborating on the 7 toxic elements (BLUNDER) to stepfamilies. This is a great resource for stepfamilies to identify and overcome the challenges of living in a blended family. I learned so many new things listening to this audiobook. Highly recommend.

I was a child in a blended family after my parents got divorced and my mom re-married. Even with that experience, I’ve found it difficult dealing with step kids in my blended family now that I’ve re-married. This audiobook is a fantastic resource for parents of blended families. There is so much going on and this book really helps decipher various problems, challenges and feelings. I wish this book had been around when I was a kid. My mom and step-dad could have really used it!

A wonderful resource
