For
StepKids Only
The
greatest wound for a child is the "forever" loss of his home. The impact
of divorce is often underrated by society and parents alike. The children of divorce
have been called the walking wounded of our society. This audio talks directly
to children about how hard it is to be a child of divorce, and a child/stepchild
in a remarriage. It directs the child to ask for predictable procedure and roles
in each house.
Discipline
& Structure
When
the family breaks up, the discipline that most often ocurs in the biologically
connected family seems to fall away. Parents compete with each other for the child's
love and may have a tendency to over indulge and fail to guide/discipline as a
single parent.
