prayer.Here are some tips for you.Firstly,slow down.Do not rush your children into trying to like someone.A person youre dating should not even be introduced to your children unless you are sure he or she can get along well with your kids.Your children wont understand the concept of were just friends,so they will see every date as a potential replacement for mom or dad.Secondly,you should seek advice.Talk to your close friends or a psychiatrist.After listening to their advice,you may see some new light and act in a more sensible way.Thirdly,you should expect difficulties.Understand that your children have the dream of reuniting their original family.They must be sad about their losses.Surprisingly,older children need even more time to overcome their sadness than younger children.Just as it takes time to heal,it also takes time to build and rebuild relationships.Although youd expect that most readjustments would need to be made by the stepparent,the biological parent has adjustments of his or her own,including issues of authority within the new household as well as communication with the other parent.Finally,proceed with caution.Although it is not impossible to have a happy and satisfying stepfamily,you should know that there will be some difficult days ahead.Dont impose friendship on the kids who are not yet ready to accept it.
