Not going to lie, I spend 90% of my life doing random odd things and this is not the first time it was caught on camera.... Thanks for the pics, @idzo_akoob #goofymoment #nature #exploringtheworld #exploringbotswana #travel #home #strike a pose (at Lobatse, Botswana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4g8RMzgCtY/?igshid=1b56yjksyq4l2

Tonight we had a parent meeting. It dealt with handling family conflicts. They made the meeting café style so that each of the parents could interact and give their different views on the topic.

There are a bunch of different causes to a family conflict. It could be money issues, lack of communication, unrealistic expectations for your child, being accusing or making assumptions, or even just being pigheaded. But there are ways to handle it and build togetherness. Some ways are communicating, using more “I” phrases instead of “You” phrases, not screaming at each other, getting a perspective, talking it out, creating trust, and coming up with a solution.

Life is going to happen and sometimes there is conflict. We just need to learn from our mistakes and use the tools that we have learned in a healthy way. That way we don’t wind up stressing out ourselves and our children. They don’t wanna see their parents argue no more than their parents wanna argue.

After the parent meeting, we did a little photo booth and took silly pics with our kids. I love the parent meetings. they are a great learning opportunity and a great way to hang out with other parents. And Amy loves getting to play with the other kids.
