#164 - When Kids Make Mistakes Jan 14, 2020

Show notes

So your kid has made a mistake – not an accident or "oops" – but a bad decision, a willful rebellion, or a knowing infraction. How do you address the problem? What's your reflex and what's your strategy? Where do your emotions land in the equation. There's a bunch of thoughts to process and today's podcast will get you started!

Talk about this:

Discuss your default mode when your kid's do something wrong? In what ways are you most likely to mishandle the situation?

What ideas resonated with you on correcting your kid's mistakes?

What are some steps you can take OR reinforce for making your approach as healthy as possible?

#163 – The First, Best Response To Any Conflict Jan 07, 2020

Show notes

There's a principle in medicine to "First, do no harm." This wisdom is surprisingly relevant to all relationships, particularly in a family setting. However, if you're like us, sometimes our actions do, in fact, make things worse.

Why does this happen? How can we do better? That's today's discussion!

Talk about this:

We have all "made things worse" before - think about some specific examples for you.

Consider a current conflict and list out responses that could make things worse (and think about how likely you are to respond that way).

Brainstorm ways you can respond in a healthy way!
