Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

I talked with a behaviorist
I talked with a behaviorist specialist for a whole year, she came into my home every other week to help me with my daughter, and her philosophy was to reward good behavior and ignore poor behavior b/c all kids are trying to get is attention. So give attention to good and not bad. She said parents automatically react to bad behavior. Well it's easier said then done. It did work for my boys though! But my daughter had too many disabilities for it to work fully though it worked to a certain extent.
Oh I was going to say, my xh
Oh I was going to say, my xh was on board for this for awhile but finally gave up and became an alcoholic so being on my own with this parenting plan was hard for me. It takes BOTH or ALL adults involved.
