What challenges do blended families face?

What will be an ideal response?


Blended families, also sometimes referred to as stepfamilies or reconstituted families, present children with new challenges and adjustments, as the multiple transitions entailed by divorce and remarriage are stressful. It is often difficult for blended families to integrate and balance the many relationships among custodial, noncustodial, and stepparents, in addition to grandparents and extended family members. As stepfamilies become more complex, that is, as the number of biologically and nonbiologically related individuals in the family increases so do challenges to children's adjustment.
