Play and Grow Smart-er Tips
Babyproof Your Marriage-Julia Kantor, MFT How a conflict goes is determined by how it starts 96% of the time! The key is using non-blaming language. Begin with an “I”-statement like “I feel frustrated when” followed by a neutral statement describing specific facts rather than generalities. Avoid loaded language such as “You never pay attention to me.” Instead, say “I feel frustrated when you’re on your Blackberry when we are talking.” And since men are wired to respond to concrete action, ask for what you want with a specific behavior request, such as “please call when you’re going to be late” or “let’s agree to put down our phones & talk when we can focus on each other.” For information on consultations or presentations, call (310) 289-4459.
