Blended Family

Blended Families can present many challenges.  This can be stressful for children and families.  It may take time for family members to bond and adjust to each other.

Some issues raised by blending families can include:
Guilt
Jealousy
Conflicts
Difficulty bonding
Conflicts between parents
Manipulation
Behavior problems
Confusion about rules

Negotiating the waters of blended families often requires the help of a professional to insure that the family is blending in a healthy way for everyone involved.

Help for blended families is available in our offices near Pittsburgh in Wexford, Robinson Township, and Squirrel Hill.
