Blended Family Workbook: Roles, Routines, and Conversations

A working blended family is built through clear role agreements, shared routines, and recurring conversations. This hands-on workbook walks you through each with templates designed for real families. By the end of this course you will have a role agreement between the adults, a household routines and traditions plan, a regular family conversation routine, a relationship-building plan with each step-child, and a self-care plan for step-parents. What you will learn: - How to write a clear role agreement between the adults including discipline boundaries - How to design household routines and traditions that build shared culture - How to plan regular family conversations including check-ins and family meetings - How to build connection with each step-child at their own pace - How to handle holidays, transitions, and time with the other biological parent - How to handle difficult moments including rejection or favoritism perceptions - How to track family integration over months and years The course is structured as a workbook. Each module provides templates and walks through examples. You apply them to your family. This course is written for step-parents and the biological parents who partner with them. By the end you will have replaced ad hoc family dynamics with documented agreements that support the longer work of integration.
