Written by the United Kingdom's number one parenting counselor, Be a Great Step Parent is a practical guide to coping with the many issues you face as part of a blended family and to deriving a positive relationship with new family members. It is full of straightforward and easy-to-follow advice that anyone can act on, with plenty of emotional support in times of need.
With help for children of all ages, moms and dads, it takes a step-by-step approach to the subject, covering everything from the earliest days of a new relationship to the issues raised by a new baby, with practical information on finances and schools, and suggestions for stress-free holidays.

Inside you’ll find:

  • One, five and ten-minute introductions to key principles to get you started
  • Lots of instant help with common problems and quick tips for success, based on the author's many years of experience
