An election year is a perfect time to talk about disagreements, don't you think?

The internet is currently rife with opinions of all sorts, and the meetings of these differening viewpoints is usually anything but civil.

We want to teach our children to grow up with the skills and emotional maturity to express themselves and their beliefs without criticizing or belittling others. It's a tall order to fill but we believe it can be done!

Today we're tackling a tricky, sticky topic: how to teach values to our kids without condemning others.  As parents, we often run into situations where our kids want to know why they can't do what others are doing.  So we dive into 3 areas of this topic to give you tools to help teach your children values without condemning others.  The 3 areas are: condemnation vs judging, pity vs empathy vs compassion, and finally control vs influence.  Whew, big topics there, but never fear, you'll be armed with tools to teach your kids values without condemning others by the time you're finished listening to this episode.
