    Disagree Better

    Send us Fan Mail We talk about how our all-or-nothing culture is training adults to treat disagreement like a dealbreaker, especially online. We want to model respectful dialogue because our kids are watching and they will copy how we speak about other people.  • the growing habit of treating opposing views as “wrong” and disposable  • how respectful disagreement strengthens our own beliefs and deepens understanding  • finding common ground by talking to people in real life  • separating criticism of decisions from bashing a person’s character  • practical ways to explain values to kids without celebrating harm or violence  If you have any questions or need a sounding board, you can message me on Instagram at BeTheirParent.
