Modeling emotionally intelligent styles of conflict resolution to our children is scientifically proven to do wonders for their future relationship success.
Every time we take that deep breath, reach out first, or find the courage to say "I messed up," our kids are watching and learning. They're picking up the subtle art of turning towards each other instead of away.
And the research backs this up wonderfully, children who grow up watching their parents repair conflicts with grace and intention go on to build healthier relationships in their own lives.
So while it might feel vulnerable or even a bit clumsy at first, remember - your efforts to repair quickly and repair well aren't just building a stronger relationship today.
They're helping shape how love and connection will look for generations to come. And that's pretty amazing when you think about it.
If you've been sitting with some worry about things your children may have witnessed or overheard during tense moments, let's have a conversation. Together, we can explore ways to turn these experiences into opportunities for connection and learning.
As a parent, you're already doing so much right by caring enough to think about this.
