Top 5 Tips For A Healthy Blended Family

1. Spend time with your child. Try to spend at least 30 mins with your child each and every day. This advice goes for both parents. 
2. Beware of favoritism. Be fair. Don’t overcompensate by favoring your stepchildren. This is a common mistake, made with best intentions, in an attempt to avoid indulging your biological children.
3. Communicate often. Rinse. Repeat. You can't over communicate in a new family. You should discuss everything. 
4. All brothers and sisters “fall out”. It is very normal for all kids to fight and argue so don't get worked up if your kids do so. It happens.
5. Each kid is different. Every child has their own personality and being aware of that means you should treat a child in the way they are most comfortable with. If one child is into sports and another is into ballet, that means making time for both.
