How Do We Communicate Our Thoughts?

As a parent, i find it happening with me all the tim im that, you know, i'm talking to my kids about someone in our lives who's done something that has irritated us. And then i've got my kids there with me, oh, this is not what i want to teach my children. So i say, wait a second. You know, i know it migh seem like the person was being inconsiderate, but maybe they're having a really hard day. I tri to sort of teach them and to remind myself to think about people's circumstances instead of jumping right away to that dispositional attribution.
