    The Effective Step Father

    in Dads and Family

     On today's show, we discuss The Effective Step Father with Jeffrey Shears, PhD. Blended families are on the rise and so is parental stress, especially for stepdads it turns out. New research finds men are feeling a great deal of stress when stepfathering. As this type of family structure becomes increasingly common in our society, the number of parental roles for adults is also increasing. Stepparents, especially fathers, may need extra support.

    Let's Talk About Child Support

    in Dads and Family

    On today's show, we talk about child support with Favio Verdugo of Division of Child Support Services. The idea behind child support is that the children of divorced or separated parents should live as comfortably as they would have if their parents had stayed together. Most states calculate child support by adding together both parents’ incomes, then setting aside a percentage of the total for their children’s needs. The law surrounding the spending of child support can be complicated. Plus, the facts of each case are unique. This interview provides a brief, general introduction to the topic.

About Family

Like the TV show, modern families come in all shapes and sizes. Many children are a product of divorce, are in touch with both their biological and adopted parents, have two moms or two dads (or both), or are being raised by their grandparents. No matter how atypical the face of today's family, the values stay the same: love and support. Moms and dads will find plenty of support in BlogTalkRadio's parenting shows, especially those about time-management topics that fit both stay-at-home and working parents: organizing kids' activity schedules, decluttering, reducing the workweek, managing stress, making quick meals and more. We've also got shows about friendship – you know, your family of choice rather than family of origin. Just remember: everyone's family seems dysfunctional in its own way. And family may irritate you, but more often than not, you can always count on family to pick you up from the airport.
