As parents, when you find yourselves on different sides of an issue, it’s really important that you come together.
One way you come together is to hold your criticism and listen. Adam was looking forward to his kids coming for the weekend, but his wife; Monica, their stepmother, was concerned about the tension she might face. Instead of criticizing her for being pessimistic, Adam learned to listen and connect to her need. “I can tell you’re anxious about the weekend,” he said. “What can we do for things to go a little more smoothly for you?” Now they have a chance to come together and everybody wins.
