Building a Successful Step Family
'The Brady Bunch lied! Sometimes what you get in a step family is not what you signed up for!' That's according to Ron Deal, author, theraprist and step family educational specialist.
Ron Deal will be leading a 1-day informative and interactive seminar for individuals and couples on Saturday October 18th from 8:30am-4:00pm at First Assembly of God, 1400 W. Washington Center Road. The seminar is sponsored by the Greater Fort Wayne and area churches. The registration fee is $35.00 for individuals or $60.00 per couple (before October 3). On-line registration is avaiable now at www.fwymca.org.
'His seminars are humorous and educational and you'll have plenty of opportunities to interact with Ron' according to Jeff Studebaker, chairman of the Youth Services Bureau at the Greater Fort Wayne YMCA.
'What's nice about Ron's seminars is that you'll learn that you got more going right than you thought!' according to Don Buettner, Program Director at Star 88.3 and a step father. 'Attending Ron's seminars in the past is one of the best investments my wife and I have made in our marriage. Along with his book, 'The Smart Step Family', it has saved us from experiencing a lot of heartache in our family.'
