    Step Parent Child Relationships Research Paper

    Hi Paige, thank you for sharing your family experiences regarding your step mother and her step kids with the rest of the class. I give your aunt a lot of dignity and credit for her unconditional love with the kids. I wish their where more parents in the world such as your aunt who are loving and caring no matter whether the children are biological or not in any type of relationship. In my opinion, I do believe age plays an important role as to how it affects the step parent-child relationship in the family. What are your thoughts on this, Paige? From reading the chapter, step parents and step children have a more difficult time to be able to form close relationships, bonding and survival with one another. This is known as the "attachment theory," when it comes to diversity in step families. With that said, could this theory be the cause for the lack of or less likelihood of having a close relationship between parent and child? It seems that the first year is the most important in order to have or create any attachments whatsoever to a parent-child relationship. What is your input or this? I also believe that anyone who wants to have a step family relationship it is indeed possible. However, it does require a lot of time, patience and effort to maintaining…
