Stepfamily Workshops
Restructuring the stepfamily - a workshop for parents and their new partners.
Becoming a new couple while dealing with one or both sets of children is stressful. Discipline, ex-partners, custody changes, finances, time alone. At best, all are confusing issues.
This workshop focuses on the process leading to comfortable relationships for adults and kids. It is a chance to hear about the restructuring process and to speak with other couples in step- relationships.
The restructuring process goes on as the new couples moves from the first date to a safe, reliable and comfortable new family. The restructuring is a process wherein the old biological and ex-partner ties shift to allow:
- The new couple to develop a strong couple relationship
- The natural parents to create space for all the significant adults in their child's life
- The children to work out the loyalty conflicts they feel in relation to parents and stepparents
- The stepparent to create a role with their stepchildren
-
The ex-partner to become the other/non-custodial parent in realistic relationship to the new family.
