So if we focus on where are there parts that I can support about what my partner's saying, or where are the parts where I can say, I can see why it seems that way to you, or
you know, I get that point of view and that makes sense, you know, this part or that part.
And yet I'm asking you to keep considering the part that I'm pointing out.
So I think looking for that area where there's sort of overlapping circles in the conversation where you can agree on and just continuing to emphasize that as one kind of a quick tip that I can offer.
But yeah, I mean, I won't deny it.
These are complicated problems.
And of course, we all care about our children.
People get very impassioned.
What I want to encourage people to do is avoid getting in such a position of advocacy for your child that you're going against what your partner's saying.
Because if your kid feels that you're in opposition or there's tension about them, they're going to react to that.
You know, they're going to pick up on that.
Whether they overhear arguments or not, it doesn't really matter.
they're attuned enough that they're going to sense what the atmosphere is in your home.
So the more you can work toward some kind of moving in the same direction with your partner or, you know, if you can't do that, it's probably time to get some help from either a parent advocate or a therapist or somebody who can help you hash this stuff out because you do need to get united and you need to be moving in the same direction or your child will suffer for it.
Seeing how couples can sustain curiosity about one another is really exciting and rewarding.
And I think that is an infinite journey for any couple really, but it's particularly challenging and deep.
It's very intricate to get to know the internal world of another person and how they tick.
And if you aren't naturally wired in the same way and to look at the world the same way,
it really does take some inquisitiveness.
So I think doing that is one thing that couples can do.
