When ever I want to make a complaint to my child or partner, I - TopicsExpress



          

When ever I want to make a complaint to my child or partner, I take time to step back and reflect if I committed a similar offense in the past. I continue to do this experiment and I have yet to find a time I have NOT reacted negatively under similar conditions. I then choose to hold my complaint until I have successfully worked on changing my own negative behaviors in similar situations. This often means responding to my partner or child the way I would like to be treated with respect, kindness and staying calm. By then, I have gained enough insight and empathy for the person that the original complaint often seems unreasonable and even a bit petty. ~Debra
