The Difference Between Ignoring Problem Behaviour And Nurturing A Relationship

There’s a difference between ignoring a problem behaviour and consciously choosing to prioritise nurturing a relationship over correcting behaviour.

One could be perceived as lazy or avoiding taking responsibility. That feels frustrating!

The other is taking a long term strategic view and doing things differently in the short run with the long term goal in mind.

As a big picture/meta thinker I always tend to choose the second option 🕸️

Slow and steady wins the race 🐢

And you don’t burn out in the process, you can even ENJOY the process.

This relates to couples as well as parent child relationships.

It requires us to be patient, to have self awareness and the ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes to see their perspective.

What’s your level of self-awareness? 🤔

Do you suspect there’s a lot you don’t know about yourself and your situation but want to be able to know?
