Episode notes

In this chapter, the speakers discuss the negative impact of constantly making requests or corrections on the atmosphere in the home and the relationship with their children. They mention how children can sense the tension and start avoiding interactions. They also share a personal example of one of their children quietly exiting the room when they enter.

If your life is anything like mine, you probably have far more problems than you can solve in one day. It’s easy to become overwhelmed. When this happens, it is often our most important relationships that suffer. But the good news is there is a solution. Taking just a few moments to celebrate small wins, especially with those that matter most, can change the equation in your favor.

In this episode, my wife Anna and I explore concrete ways you can reinforce good behavior at home, avoiding the temptation only to see what someone is doing wrong, and how to use microbursts of effort to improve your relationships.
