As a stepparent, I want to feel respected — especially in my own home. But too many times I have felt the cold shoulder or the silent treatment. Sometimes I've been on the receiving end of blatant disrespect too.
And it's not just the stepparent in blended families that ends up on the receiving end of these painful situations. Bio-parents struggle just as much to deal with a child who just can't seem to show a little respect to the adults in the home.
If you can relate to any of this…you're not alone! We've coached countless couples that struggle with the kid's bad attitudes and hurtful comments. We've learned a few things over the years about how to respond when disrespect is running wild in a blended family home.
That's what this episode is all about. You'll discover 6 steps that will help you respond (rather than react) when you're faced with those disrespectful interactions.
In the episode, we suggest different "scripts" you can use to talk with your child or step-child. To make those easy to learn, we've created a cheat sheet for you! So, don't worry about taking notes, just click this link to download your free copy: Cheat Sheet: 6 Steps to Responding to Disrespect
