7 Ways to Get Along With Your Stepkids
5. Take responsibilities so that they start seeing you as a parent
You can drop them off to school, attend parent teacher conferences, and be more involved in terms of delegating household responsibilities. Through this you can be more involved and also discipline the children.
6. Treat all your children equally to avoid clashes
If you have kids of your own from your previous marriage, clashes are inevitable. You start to see your husband’s child as the brat who is always ready to take your kid down. You need to talk to your children and make sure they both are treated equally, even if you wish to express your love through tangible and intangible means.
7. Create new family traditions
Children hold on to their family traditions. Birthday parties, Halloween or even Thanksgiving and Christmas. Don’t take their memories away. You can inculcate that in your new family and invent a novel tradition.
