Co-Parenting: Stop Harming Your Children

About the Guest

Well, obviously I had a reason. A member of the group I led for stepfamilies shared confidential information outside the group. She was betraying her own family. It’s not that different from what biological parents do when they pressure their own kids to share negative information about the other home. In essence this asks children to betray the trust of people they love. If this is you or any parent you know please put a stop to it. We’re called to protect the heart of a child not exploit it.

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Well, obviously I had a reason. A member of the group I was leading for stepfamilies was sharing confidential information outside the group. She was betraying her own family.
Now as hard as that is to understand it’s not that different from what biological parents do all the time when they pressure their own kids to share negative information about the other home which essentially asks children to betray the trust of people they love. If this is you or any parent you know please put a stop to it. This is a heart of a child we’re talking about and we’re called to protect that not exploit it. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
