5 Ways to Get Along Well with Your Stepchildren
4. Be with them when they need a parent
When they need to talk, have problems in school or with their girlfriend or boyfriend, you need to be perceptive, broach the topic in a sensitive manner, guide them and help them understand that you will be around if they need to talk.
5. Make sure they know that you and your partner are on the same page

You need to make sure that they know about your collective decisions, transparency and honesty as a couple. They need to know that this is what you want and this is how it’s going to be like.
