Modern Step-Parenting
Show: Healthy Children
The stereotype stepparents we saw in the movies growing up are outdated. Step-parents of all genders, blended families, co-parenting, and more are becoming more the norm.
Elizabeth Meade is a pediatric hospitalist, and the Medical Director of Patient Safety for Pediatrics at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, and a step-parent herself. She joins Melanie Cole again this episode to talk about the journey of introducing a new parent figure to children, how and when to discipline as a step-parent, and tips to settle disputes.
