Get On the Same Page!

So, it’s been quite a “trying” time in our house over the past week. School has started and, with it, the start of tantrums, courtesy of my (newly) 5 year old son.



Every year, it’s the same story–the first day of school goes well. Then, for the next week, he puts on a show of crying spells, tantrums, refusal to leave…etc. All I can do is weather the storm and know that it will eventually get better.images



This year seemed particularly tough–it’s the first time he’ll stay… Continue

In a recent blog I spoke about the olive branch as a symbol of peace. Another symbol of peace we often think of is the white flag.

According to Wikipedia: “The white flag is an internationally recognized protective sign of truce or ceasefire, and request for negotiation. It…

The language of contention and contentious language

People regularly talk about the role of language in military and political contention – especially with respect to the Israel Palestine conflict. Language plays a role in war and military conflicts. The problem is language can either enlighten or enclose. I address this a little bit more in the posting below but what do people think of language in Israel Palestine conflict? What have you noticed that either opens up for constrains our understanding.

Transformative Mediation with Lawyers?

It turns out transformative mediation is the most effective approach when lawyers are involved.  It allows for the bad news about the other side's commitment to their perspective to be communicated directly and clearly; and it allows for the good news that the other side isn't pure evil to be communicated; and it allows for the highest quality conversation possible about both the heart of the dispute and the possibilities for improvement.  …

When we are in an interpersonal conflict we may find ourselves reacting when the other person tries to have or succeeds at getting the last word. Or, we may be the one who is trying or succeeds in doing so. According to one source, the definition of the phrase the last word includes: “the last thing said in an argument”; “information that everyone considers to be the best”;…

It's about the children
