This review is from: The Stepparent's Survival Guide: A Workbook for Creating a Happy Blended Family (Paperback)
The concept of this book is all very well, and I think the idea of creating a stepfamily plan is quite a good one, but the execution is uninspiring: the writing style is boring, the layout presents you with big chunks of dense text and overall the tone isn't at all engaging.
Worst of all, though, the author tells stepparents once again that they "have to put the children first" and accept being second for their partner. Come on, there is reliable, recent research that shows that this is the best possible recipe for another divorce! An approach that is proven to be far more effective for conserving remarriages and ultimately more stable for the children is for the couple to focus on becoming a strong team and to parent from that team. Remarriage experts agree that guilting stepparents into accepting "second place" is not the way to make a successful stepfamily. Susan Wisdom's "Stepcoupling" is a far better, more engaging and more helpful book for struggling stepfamilies. |
