My New Daddy
I met a man
he was like a dad to me.
Some people say he is just a man.
But I say he may be just a man to you
but he is my Dad.
And that one you say is just a man
that is the one who made me smile
when I did not think I could.
The one who said I can make it
when I did not believe I could.
The one who cared
when he did not have to.
So I say to my Dad
to the best friend I ever had…
…thank you.
I thank God for giving me
a new Dad and best friend.

It’s a sweet poem, I liked it. I
think, spending one-on-one time with step child/children will allow developing
a good relationship with that child and get to know them. It will also show the
child that you care enough about them to spend alone time with them.
Small earned rewards that are
equally thoughtful are even more compelling in winning a child’s affection.
When you appreciate their achievements with something tangible, even a gumball
machine sticker, and it’s something you know exactly which one they like best
because you paid attention to them, which brings out the best in them.
Being a stepparent can be both
fulfilling and challenging. If you’ve married or partnered with a person who
already has children, you have to consider them part of a package deal, to be
loved. Being a good stepfather has all the elements of being a good father.
