highly recommended

The viewpoints of the stepparent, the biological parent, and the child are detailed. This makes it somewhat easier to understand one another.

Teamwork and the re-establishment of the household are the major emphasis here. The discussion starters that Lofas suggests between two partners can be a bit painful and emotional, but help lead to a better understanding of each other. Thus, a stronger bond is created.

Re:STEPPARENTING

I am saddened by all of Peter Gerlack's reviews of Jeannette Lofas's books. It is one thing to comment about a book, but when one uses the same comments about all book, and follows it up with self promotion. He mades the intentionof his comments suspect.

I poersonally have found all of her books vital to my clients.

Sensible, Wise Advice for Stepparents

I'm not a stepparent yet, but I'm dating a divorced man with two kids and I want to educate myself on what to expect if/when we marry. This book presents the step situation from everyone's point of view--the kids, the bio parents, the stepparents, even grandparents. Potential problems are explained and sensible ways to deal with them are offered. What I liked best is that the author emphasizes the kids--what kind of home are you creating for them? How does what you do--from dating to planning your wedding--affect them?

This book has helped me overcome some of my fears about "what am I getting into." I feel much better prepared for the future.

I would give it more stars except for two flaws: 1) it doesn't go into enough detail on some subjects, such as ways to build a pleasant, respectful relationship with your stepkids, and 2) it is poorly written and edited. As an editor, I could hardly stand the numerous grammatical errors and awkwardly expressed thoughts.
