But it doesn’t have to be this way. You can indeed bond with your stepchild, it is possible, you don’t have to put up with this situation for the rest of your life.

A few ways to do this effectively is
1 – Find a common ground and do something that you enjoy doing together, it is not going to be easy to begin with, but as do more it gets better
2 – Sneak away for one on one time, Try to sneak away for a little 1:1 time occasionally. In the beginning, this shouldn’t be for extended periods of time, but it allows you time to get to know one another.
Ask questions like what is your favorite animal, what is your favorite subject in school, what’s your favorite activity to do after school, what do you want to be when you grow up, etc. Get to know your stepchildren, and allow them to ask you questions and to get to know you too!
It’s easiest to see the necessity for this when you look back on the start of your dating relationship with your spouse.
You needed to go on dates to get to know each other better before you really trusted each other, and the more you talked and got to know one another, the deeper your relationship grew. It’s the same thing with your stepchildren!
3 – Be the Entertaining one, the final tip for bonding with your stepchildren is to remember to act a little silly. Show them you’re human and not just a serious adult who is absolutely no fun at all.
Even when you’re doing something tedious or monotonous, you can have a little fun with it. I tend to use funny accents to talk to my stepdaughter when we’re in the car or grocery shopping, and I use fun chants and songs to help her remember her spelling words and times tables.
By using your best, most entertaining skills, you’re deepening that bond. You’re connecting on a new level with your stepchildren, and they’ll respond to it.
4 – Let them be little, these little people are dealing with some really complex emotions and they can have a tough time navigating the seemingly competing paths of bonding with their step parent and remaining loyal to their mom.
Sometimes these loyalty binds manifest in mood swings, “You’re not my mom!” exclamations, or general neediness for Dad when they’re around. Look past your own hurt and understand their perspective.
Your littles are just trying to learn how to live in this blended family life, like you and I are. Extend them a little grace, and remain steadfast through the storm. All relationships have ups and downs, and relationships with our stepchildren are no different.

Story telling is an awesome way to build that bond.
