How To Build A Family
Candle Safety
1. Trim your wick before burning your candle the first time and every subsequent burn thereafter.
2. We advise burning your candle for periods of no longer than three hours at a time.
3. Discontinue burning your candle when there is 10mm / 1cm of wax is remaining.
4. Always burn your candle on a stable and heat resistant surface, away from drafts or items that can catch alight.
5. Never leave a burning candle unattended, near children or pets.
6. If you’re burning more than one candle at a time, space your candles approximately 100mm (10cm) apart.
Description When I started out on this journey, it all seemed pretty simple: I thought that love would be enough to see me through. I had no idea what it would take to create a fully blended family – just how many factors and emotions would be involved or how deep it would all go. How To Build A Family is the nurturing handbook I wish I’d been given. In it you’ll find my experiences, as well as those of other blended families (because every family is unique), along with advice and tips from the experts who have guided me. Some key areas we’ll look at are: Dealing with grief and divorce Helping the kids to accept you Moving into the family home and how to make changes Managing comparisons to previous partners Building positive relationships with the wider family I’m not going to pretend I have all the answers, but I will say that if you can just stick with it through the downs as well as the ups, being a stepparent can be one of the most rewarding things you’ll ever do. My goal is to encourage, inspire and support families everywhere, and I really hope you find this book helpful.
