105-Considering the feelings of others Dec 05, 2016

Show notes

Sometimes we forget to consider the feelings of other people. We make assumptions about what they think, and why they act the way they do. We tear people down because we think our way is better. We judge and criticize. These behaviors aren't going to help you or your blended family.

Straying from the regular format, this show is on a more personal note.

I open up about some of my own struggles this Thanksgiving. We also talk about some of our activity in the group. I answer a listener question about the holiday season, and then talk about how to make the holidays work. Not my usual but I hope that you can take something from it!

Living in the present moment is so hard to do. With the chaos of a blended family and the stress of the modern world, it can feel impossible at times. In this show, some ideas to help you become more present, so you can enjoy life a little more.

Show notes

Many children suffer from low self esteem. As parents, it is our job to recognize these signs, and help our kids develop a better sense of self worth. My ten ways to help are

Give positive reinforcement
Compliment them often
Allow them choices
Put them in a sport or hobby
Give them responsibilities
Help them set goals
Work on your own self esteem issues
Help them with their self dialogue
Teach them about mistakes
Show unconditional love

And a few things NOT to do are

Do NOT do everything for them
Do NOT compare them to others
Do NOT name call

A great conversation with Carrie Ellis-Berg, who has been an elementary school teacher for ten years. Together as a blended family, she and her husband have four children. After realizing the need for children's books on blending, she felt called to share fun and exciting stories that would help parents and children learn, grow, and adapt in their new family structure. She hopes that her stories will foster and strengthen relationships within the home.

We talk about

Her personal story
What prompted her to do this work
What the books are about
Her own positive and negative experiences in her own blended family

And much more!

97-Are you dealing with a taker? Oct 10, 2016

Show notes

www.blendedfamilypodcast.com

In life, there are givers and takers. When we deal with takers, we often feel like they drain our energy. We feel frustrated with their lack of concern for our own needs and wants. Sometimes takers naturally gravitate towards us because we are givers. What should you do if you are dealing with a taker in your life, or in your blended family?
