Silver Sands step mum promoting relationship between parents and step children

SILVER Sands step mum Kiri Barron is keen to promote the relationship between parents and step children.

She is taking part in a 12-week Self Expression Leadership Program that includes the creation of a community event and has chosen one that is close to her heart.

Stepping Up is a Family Fun Day at the Child and Parents Centre in Kooljack Street, Dudley Park on Saturday, December 1 from 9.30am to 11.30am.

There will be crafts, face painting, a bouncy castle and morning tea.

Kiri has created the event to acknowledge step parents and their ability to love their spouse and stepchildren.

She has also created a Facebook group Stepping Up as a support network for step parents.

“I was such a cranky mum to my seven and eight-year-old step children before I did the course,’’ she said.
