Blended families are challenging! Developing some healthy habits early on can help your blended family grow in great ways. There are also some very unhealthy habits that blended families adopt that have an adverse effect on the blended family growth. Unfortunately, the unhealthy habits are often the ones that stick, and many do not realize this until excess damage has been done. In this show we will explore some of these negative habits so that you can become aware of them, and take steps to change them! Here’s what not to do!



  • Keeping a yours vs mine mentality
  • Using the children as messengers 
  • Telling the kids too much 
  • Treating the kids unfairly 
  • Working against the other bio or stepparent
  • Dishonesty and keeping secrets
  • Lack of communication and or understanding one another's needs
  • Not establishing proper structure/boundaries 
  • Not being consistent
