Second Time's the Charm: Now that One in Two Marriages Fail, New Book Examines How to Succeed in a Blended Family
Alberta, Canada (PRWEB) February 13, 2008 -- Yours, Mine, and Hours: Relationship Skills for Blended Families is a light at the end of the tunnel for blended families, also known as stepfamilies. Written over three years and inspired by the real-life challenges experienced by authors and speakers John Penton and Shona Welsh, both professionals in child development and education and members of their own blended family, this book breaks down the complex relationships and emotions between children and parents in a way that has been described as "delightfully informal yet lucid" by a workshop attendee.
Using their own Recipe for Blended Family Success® -- comprised of Marriage, Acceptance, and Communication -- Yours, Mine, and Hours devotes several chapters to each of the three ingredients and then discusses how to implement the concepts once they are understood, with an emphasis on putting in the time now to prevent pain later.
Yours, Mine, and Hours is a valuable relational resource for any family, but as a pioneer into the largely uncharted territory of the blended family, its combination of the authors' personal experience and professional expertise provides a foundation on which struggling parents can find firm footing.
For more information or to request a free review copy, members of the press can contact the authors at speaking@momentumlearning.com or visit www.yoursminehours.com. Yours, Mine, and Hours: Relationship Skills for Blended Families is available for sale online at Amazon.com, BookSurge.com, and through additional wholesale and retail channels worldwide.
