Order The Next Conversation Workbook: https://www.jeffersonfisher.com/workbook In this episode, I’m sharing what Sierra and I try to do at home to help our kids learn how to talk through big feelings, conflict, and mistakes. Nothing perfect. Just real-life tools we come back to: apologizing when we miss it, teaching them to calm their body first, letting them work things out with boundaries, helping them ask for what they need, and teaching perspective. Because the goal isn’t “well-behaved kids.” The goal is kids who feel safe telling you the hard stuff. Want a FREE communication tip each week?
