Instead of buying your children all the things you never had,
you should teach them all the things you were never taught.
Material wears out,
but knowledge stays.
— Bruce Lee
In my family, it would be healthy communication skills. I observed a lot of world war three battles, but saw no resolution, or learning, over the years. Fortunately, I attended many a therapist-led weekend relationship workshops (in an attempt to save my marriage). We were taught how to “clear”, or, express ourselves in an emotionally neutral, factual and respectful manner. Now, admittedly, clearing is harder when tensions are high, but with practice you get better at conferring with your partner about each of your wants, needs and requests. Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO
Blessings,
