RE: What if we are fighting because we want the same thing?

in #psychology7 years ago

How do you keep track of who gets to go first? I really like this method, although I don't always have the patience to struggle with one to listen while another speaks. I think separating them so they can do this is beneficial in our home. I like what you tell your kids about not having to agree or get along. We say that too. It gives permission to have feelings that might otherwise be thwarted.

I usually let them tell me who goes first if I don't remember, I just want them to know that each of their opinions matter to me and I want them to come up with ways to resolve any disagreements.
