94. 70 Summer Activities to Create Family Time and Encourage Bonding
Episode description
We all tend to head into stepfamily life hoping that close bonds will develop and everyone will enjoy spending time together. But this doesn't usually happen as easily or as quickly as we'd like.
Instead, most of us are blindsided by the amount of chaos, tension and resistance that pops up around every corner. It can leave us frustrated, confused or even hopeless.
If you relate to that at all, you might be at a loss about how to approach bonding when relational tension is high and the kids are either acting out, or shutting down.
Here's the good news — you're normal! Most blended families face these challenges — and the really good news is that with the right mindset and strategy you can encourage and enjoy family time, while patiently waiting for bonds to grow.
