Dealing with Child Arguing, Complaining and Questioning

Being a step parent can be really hard work. There are no concrete rules that you can use because every child is different. What works for some situations may not be any good in other scenarios. Most of the lectures go out the window when reality comes into play.

Parenting by Example

As parents, it is our desire, goal and mission in life to see our children grow up to be responsible and good adults. We want them to learn to feel, think and act with respect for themselves and for other people. As they pursue their dreams and well-being, we hope they are considerate of the needs and feelings of others. We want our children to be adults with strong character and American values.

Research suggests that children who grow up with strong, positive values are happier and do better in school. They are also more likely to be able to balance their personal wants and needs with those of others and have a positive influence on society.
