Explanation / Answer

Even though we cannot help you with individual surveys, I hope this following answer will help you to frame your answer best. This term ‘blended family’ refers to families that have been created with a couple coming together who have children individually from different partners/ex spouses and who have been separated from their old partners/spouses due to different reasons before they stepped into the current relationship.

1. Challenges vary in every blended family but the most common factor can that be of ‘trust’ and ‘acceptance’. Sometimes, even though a ‘blended’ family, there can be a very firm mental demarcation of who we actually consider as family. This can include considering only blood-family members as one’s own and others as not included in the family. In a sense, we are more drawn to the people we share our lives with and for children who have grow to know and trust their parents first, it can be pretty tricky for children to accept the new partners of their parents. Other biggest problem is that of ‘sibling rivalry’ which is influenced by the fact that their parent will now have the same role to play for a ‘stranger’. This in turn feeds the idea of someone (usually a child in the family) not getting enough attention.

2. The advantages of a blended family can include the fact that it is better than single-parenting. The stress on a single parent- financial, mentally and physically, is shared equally with blended families. There is better maturity in terms of understanding each other.One more advantage of a blended family is the fact that the way a family interprets and solves problems is now blended too. This means that people from different cultures, educational backgrounds, life experiences and even ‘problem-solving’ thought processes can come together to make better decisions for the family as a whole. Children from blended families thus have better understanding of different individuals, a broader perspective of our society and they may also learn a better way of dealing with change.

3. For people who are considering blending their families, it is best to find ways to communicate- whether they are ideas, expectations, problems, issues, grudges, appreciation, love, limitations, privacy of individual members or even personally choices and decisions. Involving people who can support the idea of a blended family is also a good advice. This includes grandparents, relatives, family friends etc. This helps children to find something familiar when the idea of ‘blended’ family’ is not yet familiar.
