For a period of time, my youngest daughter spent half the time with me and half the time with her dad. We were in the same city, so it wasn’t as much of a challenge, but we did plan activities. We also had things at both homes so that the transportation of belongings and clothing was reduced.
Having belongings in both homes really helps a child feel they belong and have two homes. It’s challenging for them to always be between two places. Stability and consistency is really important for children. Glad to see that you made your daughter’s transitions between homes easier for her.
Claudette,
SUPER article! Coming to you from the UBC! These are great suggestions in making better situation for what already is a difficult position many kids, and remarried parents deal with today. It is absolutely a soft spot in my heart how the breaking up of our families is affecting not only the kids and their parents, but our society in general. I agree with you that we may not always be able to control the situations that get us to where we are at BUT you can definitely make the most of the time you have and the things you can control! Making life joyful for the kids is key! THANKS so much for sharing; super job!
Jeff, thanks for your feedback. Seeing my son and stepdaughters go through challenges because we as adults couldn’t be adults turned my life. Now, it’s my passion to help others create strong families.
What a fantastic niche! I dealt with it in my youth. Summer can be much more fun and stress-free with your suggestions!
Thanks Donavan for sharing. I’ve seen adults who were is stepfamilies still struggle and the pain I still see in their eyes makes me want to help more.
