Single-Parent and Blended Families

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A single-parent family has one resident parent; a blended family combines children and step-relatives from a prior union into one household.

Show

A blended family may include a parent's biological children, a step-parent's biological children, and children the couple has together.

Watch for

Single-parent and blended are structural labels; neither implies anything about the quality of parenting inside the household.
