The Parenting 411 Episode 80: Holding Calm with Kids (and everybody else)

Conflict is inevitable. We are unique individuals with different personalities, perspectives, and plans about what happens to us and around us. Resolution of our differences can be tense, uncomfortable, and downright maddening. We see conflict in the professional world with contentious legal cases, mediation proceedings, and workplace disputes. We also see conflict in our personal interactions. Unchecked, conflict can escalate and become volatile with dangerous outcomes. If adults are having a hard time managing conflict, imagine how hard it can be for kids. We can start early to give them tools for resolving conflict in a productive, non-combative way. I am joined today by master mediator and attorney, Hesha Abrams. She has helped parties around the world navigate their opposing interests to arrive at workable deals and agreements that serve their needs. I asked her to apply her wisdom to the power struggles many parents experience with their children. I enjoyed her stories and ready-to-use strategies for holding the calm with and I believe you will, too. Visit https://www.holdingthecalm.com to grab your copy Hesha's book, Holding the Calm: The Secret to Resolving Conflict and Defusing Tension.    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Let's stay connected:Website: carolmuleta.comIG: @the_parenting_411TikTok: @theparenting411Facebook: The Parenting 411YouTube: The Parenting 411 on YouTube
