265. Q&A: My husband and I had a big fight in front of our kids, how do we make sure this doesn’t negatively impact them?

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg and I talk about...

- Breaking down the different strategies you’d use with kids whether this is a single one-off big fight, or if conflict is more prevalent in your home.

- What a conversation with your child might sound like and how to adapt it to be most authentic to you.

- Specific things to do in order to lessen the negative impact of parental conflict on your kids.

- How to help your child make sense of what happened in a narrative that allows them to understand they are safe and the fight wasn’t their fault.

- A developmentally appropriate way to share with your child that sometimes the people we love the most are the ones that we get into the biggest arguments with.

- How to reassure and repair with a baby ore very young child who is still too little to understand your words.
