Episode notes

I think that so many people think of the reason to work on family drama is to fix the relationship or to change the relationship. It's not all about going back and fixing a thing between the two of them. It's working it out inside of you so you don't go forward with it. A lot of things that I see parents improving on is a correction of what they didn't have. When you see all of this emotional neglect, now we have parents who are like, how are you feeling? What are you doing? Do you have your feeling where it's going on? Use it. Okay, you're upset. All right. We'll let you be."

We all want tools to navigate (and minimize!) family drama.

Today, Nedra Glover Tawwab teaches us how we can create drama free families:

How to speak up for yourself when it feels like going against the group;
Why confrontation is often the kindest thing;
When, exactly, we should bring up conflict & when to let it go;
The most loving way a parent can respond to a child in pain.
