188. Conflict Resolution Made Easy

In this episode of Real World Peaceful Parenting, I’m getting into a hot topic that affects many of us as parents: conflict management. Joined by special guest and mother of two, Kris, we explore strategies for managing conflicts between ourselves and our children, as well as tools to help teach our kids how to handle conflicts on their own. I introduce a powerful framework called Empowered Conversations, designed to help both parents and children approach conflicts with confidence and clarity. By the end of this episode, you'll have concrete tools to transform conflicts into opportunities for growth and connection within your family. What You'll Learn: How to reframe conflict as an opportunity for growth rather than a battle to be won The importance of understanding your feelings and what you want before addressing a conflict Techniques to avoid catastrophizing and presuming the other person’s thoughts or feelings The role of reflective listening in resolving conflicts and improving communication Steps to implement the Empowered Conversations framework in your family interactions How to model healthy conflict resolution for your children Real-life examples of using these strategies to handle common conflicts at different stages of parenting
