Step families – Guiding our children, our way – Aboriginal Parenting WA Guides (2012) [INFORMATION SHEET]

September 13, 2012


Visit Website
  • Step families are usually decided by two adults who want to be together. People get together for a lot of different reasons like love, companionship, money, and necessity.
  • A mother or father might find they cannot live together any more. They may end the relationship and begin a new one with someone else. Some begin a new relationship if a partner has died.
  • While parents look forward to these changes, their kids may not share these positive feelings.
  • This building of a new partnership is an exciting but challenging time. It needs a lot of time, energy and hard work. There are many different kinds of step families and each has different strengths to build on and difficulties to deal with. There are other people involved, including the extended family. Every family and step family is unique. What works for some may not work for others.
  • What can it mean for your kids?
    -They might have to move house.
    -They might have to share their home with more people.
    -They might have to change schools and make new friends.
    -They might not be able to see the other parent as often as they’d like.
    -They feel a sense of loss and may be sad.
    -They may not even know what they really feel.
