Blending Families!
Sounds So Simple
But Is It?
Part 4
by Nily Glaser
Bear in mind that children have a past. They also have feelings. If these feelings are stifled, children may feel that they are being forced into a "new" family to replace their "old" family.
This in turn will bring forth resentment, anger, frustration and hurt. Therefore, it is important that the children understand that they are allowed to hang onto the memories of their previous family, remember them with joy, feel happy about those times that came before or sad that they are no more, and know that it is "OK" to recall, remember and even share them aloud with each other.
Through this sharing, and as they get older, they will begin to understand and realize that in the "new " family they are building new relationships and creating new memories, not replacing those they already have.
Let each child, if age and ability appropriate, an opportunity to contribute to the family.
Give each child tasks and responsibilities. They may resent it at the moment but thank you as they reach adulthood.
So far all seems too serious. It is! But family life is not all seriousness!
- Make time for fun, and do so often.
- Give each child your undivided attention as individuals.
- Get to know each child yours and your spouse's.
- Give each child opportunities to get to know you.
- With all that, do no ignore each other.
It is just as important, that you make sure you set aside time for each other, to foster your love and marital relationship.
