Stuff Everyone Can Do
Family Pastor and stepdad Dave Bondeson shared with me some ideas to help blended families that everyone can do. He said, “First pay attention to your language.” When you’re writing an email to a group of parents be more inclusive. Instead of starting with “Hey Moms and Dads” say, “Parents and Stepparents.” And second, encourage kids and parents to be more inclusive of each other. When you encourage togetherness, you help build a family.
