How do I form a healthy relationship with my stepchild? Parenting SOS with Cilla Appeaning

About this episode

<p>It’s estimated that around 1 in 3 families in the UK are a blended family, which means more of us than ever are becoming stepparents. Why then, is there still such a stigma attached to stepmothers in particular? And where is the support for them?</p><br><p>These are questions Cilla Appeaning asked when she met her now husband and became a stepmum to his two children. And so she founded the Stepmums Club, a platform to provide support to the growing number of stepmums and to reject that harmful ‘wicked stepmother’ stereotype.</p><br><p>She and Gi discuss the challenges that come with living in a blended family, and Cilla answers some of your questions on stepparenting.</p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
