Taking the STING out of Conflicts
So the other day I was sharing a story my son’s day at camp with a friend. And she was struck by the way he handled a conflict with a friend. A day or two before Eli had been called a name by this friend. He handled the conflicts as most 9 year olds would…
How do you face your pain, so you can dance in the rain?
