Dating someone with kids from a prior relationship? Be sure to keep your first few interactions with the kids very casual. Don’t push them to like you and don’t “parent” them – this is simply the time for everyone to learn about each other in a non-pressure way. You and your sweetheart should take your cues from the kids: let them come to you when they feel ready. Above all, treat them with respect. Remember that it takes time to form bonds and going slowly can only help ease the process.
