Reevaluating the Fight

You may find that the frequency and intensity of scuffles are increasing in your home.  If so, I’d encourage you to think about the hills you’re dying on.  Ask yourself a few questions: What issues have the greatest consequences? What battles, if you lose, will also cause you to sacrifice a relationship? And… What battles will eventually pass? Once you’ve answered these questions… adjust what you fight back about.  Reevaluate what’s really important to you. Mom, dad, choose your battles carefully.  Don’t pounce on every little mistake.  On the essential non-negotiable stuff …don’t budge one inch!  On the non-essentials …show a little grace and mercy.   ©2013 Mark Gregston www.parentingtodaysteens.org.
