Publisher's Synopsis
This is a "must read" for any single person or couple planning to be involved in a stepfamily situation. The five main points are clearly presented-Children, Communication, Comparison, Compromise, and Commitment-followed by nineteen stepfamily situations. With blended marriages on the increase, Help! I'm a Stepparent is a must-read for all stepparents. Timothy Starr is well qualified, both from his own personal experience as a child and from his years as a pastor. I highly recommend this book. It will serve as an excellent handbook for all stepparents. -Dr. A. Daniel Goldsmith, Abbotsford, B.C. Timothy Starr's practical insights into the exciting and challenging world of stepparenting, together with real-life stories of those who've lived through its trials and triumphs, is an easy read on a difficult topic. I appreciate the words of wisdom Dr. Starr brings to the living rooms of blended families everywhere. -Dr. Ward Tanneberg, President of CASA, Bellevue, WA I am glad to see my friend Dr. Timothy Starr write on a subject often overlooked-the challenge of blended families and helping raise children that are not your own blood. His book is a practical, easy to read book that gives insight into a difficult situation. -Dr. James Hughes, Author and Educator, Dallas, Texas Dr. Timothy Starr for many years assisted individuals and couples relative to domestic situations, divorces and remarriages.
