{"product_id":"9781469103310","title":"Build a High-nurturance Stepfamily: A Guidebook for Co-parents","description":"This is the fourth book in a re\/divorce-prevention series for co-parents and supporters. It adds five post-re\/wedding projects to seven outlined in the prior volume \"Stepfamily Courtship.\" All 12 projects aim to overcome five widespread hazards that I believe cause over half of U.S. first and subsequent marriages to fail, psychologically or legally. The hazards are: (1) unseen psychological wounds from a low-nurturance childhood; (2) blocked grief; (3) unawareness of grieving, communication, and effective-relationship basics, and stepfamily realities; (4) courtship neediness and illusions, and (5) little informed community and media support to help with these four stressors.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe first seven co-parent projects are: (1) assess for psychological wounds, and begin recovery as needed; (2) build effective communication skills; (3) accept your stepfamily identity, and resolve membership conflicts; (4) convert myths into realistic expectations; (5) assess for blocked grief, and free any you find; (6) draft a stepfamily mission statement and co-parent \"job descriptions;\" and (7) answer three vital re\/marriage questions before committing.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47124916732144,"sku":"9781469103310","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781469103310_p0.jpg?v=1763698375","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781469103310","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
