Darren is a single parent and has recently married Janice. Darren's son has issues getting along with Janice. Darren is thinking of ways to make it easier for both Janice and Darren to adjust to the new situation. What task is Darren carrying out?

I guess the answer is that Darren is doing his responsibility of making his new wife and child feel loved and so that they can like each other to make a better family..This is what I can come up with

Making his son and wife used to the family by giving the son and wife lots of love, understanding, and attention.

Explanation:

When all is hard, love and attention from family is KEY, even when the family has a different layout. In this case, if the family keeps doing this, the son will soon feel very at peace, and get used to the new ''mom'', but also gain a new and strong bond with the new ''mom''. If someone feels sad or something, the best way to help them is to fit yourself into their shoes, or understand them or their situation, that way you can talk to them in a right way, that they will answer, because if you just ask a random question, they will just turn around or not answer, and stay silent until someone else comes or time is up. And doing this to the son will help them understand the whole picture while helping them control their emotions, like a therapist.
