As much as I'm successful in my own career, I only began to feel successful when the relationships in my family began to improve. My children still fight at times, but there is an atmosphere of respect and tolerance. In many ways were able to resolve things quicker and there is a general sense of cooperation. Lucy
These skills are not rocket science. They are about being aware of and using a language of respect and understanding. My child came to me the other day and said, “Dad, I know there are times when we make you really angry, but we are also aware of how hard you try to make it work for us as well.” Nstiki
My teenage sons have had a difficult time growing up together, especially because the one is gifted at sports. As I have begun to change my language pattern, I have noticed that they have also changed the language pattern in communicating with each other. I can see the possibility of a future relationship between them that is fulfilling and meaningful. David
When I walked into my child’s room to see the older sibling holding a cricket bat above, my younger son's head, I knew I needed to do something differently to support them. I now have different skills at my disposal: skills to resolve conflict, skills to empower, skills to engage cooperation, and skills to support them in nurturing their relationship to each other. Fritz
