Why it's important for our children to see healthy conflict discussion

Our parenting is affected by so much more than how we approach our child during their big feelings. It also requires some introspection on how we approach our big feelings in disagreements with our partners or loved ones. On this episode, I welcome Lesley Adams who is a licensed marriage and family therapist, to talk about why healthy conflict resolutions are important and healthy for children to see. Tune in as we discuss:

• Communication styles in partnerships
• How to express your needs with your partner 
• How to repair IF discussions get escalated
