Living In A Step Family Without Getting Stepped On

This repackaged classic family guide shows how combining children from two families is never easy – birth order is rearranged and everyone’s role is redefined, but understanding the reasons behind individual responses is the key to a strategy that will work for any family.

“When two families unite, they don’t blend, they collide,” says Dr. Kevin Leman, bestselling author of The New Birth Order Book. But he also believes, “You can blend a family without breaking it. The principles in this book will help you wage the battle of blending your family – and come up not only a survivor but a winner!”

By understanding the impact that birth order has on each family member, parents are better equipped to ease the transition into a new, different but functional family unit. Using his signature humor and real life examples, Dr. Leman provides both insight and practical advice about discipline, self-respect, parental authority, and the importance of the marriage relationship.
