Blended Better

The idea of blending a family usually stops with the two that fell in love, but there is always much more blending to do after the “I do”. This workshop will define the confusing roles and boundaries of blending families and demonstrate why parents so often struggle with their blending efforts.  Couples will develop a shared meaning for their new family, clarify expectations, and learn to build on family strengths. Couples will also develop co-parenting skills across multiple households and learn best practices for parenting together. Couples will leave with a deeper intimate connection to each other.

• Have you discovered that you and your partner have different ways of parenting?
• Is your blended family still living like two separate families?
• Are you experiencing more conflict as a result of blending your family?

If you can answer yes to any of these questions, then this is the workshop for you and your intimate partner.
