Suspend your Disbelief for Success in Conflict Resolution

4/29/2019

2 Comments

 
What we believe about ourselves and others--especially our children--in conflict strongly influences how we try to resolve conflict. Suspending our disbelief may improve our success with conflict resolution processes.
​

Let's push back against our doubts and engage our creativity rather than trust in the past to predict the future. We are dynamic beings with limitless possibilities. Our children will become increasingly capable of living and applying the great things we are teaching them as we identify and reject ineffective beliefs about conflict resolution.

To learn more about suspending your disbelief in conflict resolution, please visit my conflict fluent site for a new blog post.

The Power of Positive Sibling Relationships

4/19/2019

Recently, I interviewed with Lisa Valentine Clark of BYU Radio about the power of sibling relationships. Listen here for details of that interview that focused on both helping our children and improving our own sibling relationships.  

About 80% of children in developed countries grow up with at least one sibling. Over a lifetime, sibling relationships tend to be some of our longest family relationships--often longer than a parent-child or spouse relationship. 

In recent years, researchers have been documenting how positive sibling relationships are correlated with very positive individual social outcomes in areas such as school and developing relationships with peers. 

Whether as adults or in raising our own children, sibling relationships provide us with prime opportunities to discover the thoughts, feelings, and ambitions of other people.
