May this Season Bring Joy and Happiness

TEN TECHNIQUES TO FAIR FIGHTING:

1. As God’s creation we each deserve to be here, and to be heard.

2. We are individuals—thoughts, feelings, and decisions may differ between one another.

3. Interaction is our first purpose; wants and needs are secondary.

4. Complete honesty and transparency (as much as possible) is expected when expressing our thoughts and feelings.

5. We must listen when it is another’s turn to express his/her viewpoint.

6. We listen to everyone, regardless if we agree or disagree.

7. The speaker/receiver of a message is responsible for two things: Protect each person’s sense of belonging, and intervene in the event one’s voice is not being heard.

8. Keep it real—do not pretend or alter the reality of a situation.

9. Keep it to yourself—everything shared in confidence, remains confidential. Do not share unless it only concerns oneself.

10. Decisions are achieved through compromise and negotiation of all parties involved.
