S2 E9 "Empathy Is Patience, Relationships, Older Kid Issues"
Summary: This week, Sujai, Vivek, and Marji have a lively conversation, kicking it off at about 6:19 when Vivek shares a deeply personal story about living empathy in his closest relationships.
Then, at about 33:43, Sujai offers great insight on relationship fractures, how they happen, and what folks can do about them.
Finally, at about 46:48, Marji recalls a conversation she had had some time ago with a parent who was convinced that grounding a child and revoking privileges is sometimes what you just gotta do when older kids just won’t listen. (Sujai has quite a bit of helpful perspective to share here, too.)
We hope you enjoy the conversation, and we encourage you to join in by posting your thoughts and questions and comments!
