My Big Blended Family

Through my own co-parenting experiences I began to advocate for children and became involved with United Parents for Children 3 years ago. We are a collective group of parents from all over the world who have stood up as parents not only to advocate for children but also to advocate for healthy co parenting relationships. It then became apparent to me that family dynamics have changed a lot in recent years. Not every situation is the same. Its not uncommon see children being raised by grandparents, aunts uncles, same sex couples or other family members . I thought it was important to create books that children could relate to. I know many of children might feel embarrassed or ashamed because of their living situations at home but I just wanted to point out the importance of healthy love and support. As a parent I would never deny my child of love from a stepparent or anyone who cares for and encourages my children in a positive way. I think it's important for children to see parents and guardians getting along getting along. To be supported in all that they do. Kids need to know that it's OK to love their step parent and their family as well and should never be looked down upon down upon for it. It's OK if they are being raised by someone other than their parents. With the ever changing world I just really wanted to emphasize the positive impact being supported and loved has on our children. I hope you enjoyed this book and were able to take something positive away from it. Thank you.
