"Navigational Skills for Step Families" This book is awesome! So much valuable information that is very important for me to know in order to raise healthy children. Information that can help lead to healthy foundations for my children's future. Very easy to follow, understand and is full of interesting facts/statistics. I feel like I am not alone out there within my step family situation. Finally some help and guidance to step family life. Most of the time, I just didn't recognize why things were happening or even how to help it. Not only did I learn why grown-ups and children behave the way they do, but I also discovered better skills and new ideas in dealing with my children and their step family situation. I've learned some eye opening things about myself as a mother and my own mother which was good and not so good; but I understand more clearly. I can handle it better. Love the term "bonus child" what a positive term, warmer than "step child". I love... More > the interview and I feel it is very important to talk, connect and listen to your children. It is very important that parents know how their behavior can deeply effect their children. If you're involved in a step family situation somehow, you must obtain a copy of this book. The author Christina Hines knows what she is writing about and has personal experience in this area. I applaud this book and Christina.< Less
"Navigational Skills Inside the REAL Lives of Stepfamilies" I find this book to be extremely helpful in understanding the dynamics of different issues pertaining to the lives of stepfamilies. As a parent, I felt the excerpts assisted me in realizing that I can not change other people and to be the BEST parent to my child is to realize that he is going through the motions as well as myself. Currently I am trying to evolve and to let go of the past. Christina is a wonderful motivator and I only hope that I can embrace all that she has written into my daily life.
