My father introduced me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is well known for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning.”My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly upward, and looked me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied, “ You are wrong . This is not the worst boy at all, but the smartest one who hasnt yet found an outlet for his enthusiasm.”That statement began a friendship between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my mind as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.She changed many things. She persuaded my father to go to a dental(牙医) school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the country seat, where my fathers career could be more successful and my brothers and I could be better educated.When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that she believed that I could become a writer.

What if family fights and conflicts(冲突) could be turned into chances to become closer? What if problems could be solved with everyone walking away feeling more deeply cared for and loved?Family fighting is, on one level, about power. Someone is telling someone else what to do. In a short moment, bad feelings can be brought out and the fight is on. You can go down that old road or you can try something different.In any fight, you have a need to be listened to and understood. People raise their voices and shout at each other because theyre not being listened to. You want your mom or dad to listen and understand. You want your brother or sister to listen and care. But you always seem to forget that the person youre fighting with has the same need to be listened to. So if you can put aside your need for a few minutes, the situation will change quickly. Give the other person some time to express his or her feelings, and youll have your turn to be listened to.And while you are listening, you have to listen for the right information. The best way to do this in emotional(情绪激动的) situations is to pay no attention to most of the words because many people cant express what they are feeling with the words alone, especially when they are upset.But if the situation starts to get out of hand, it would be wise to just calm down and leave the problem until later because many fights happen at the wrong time. The situation will die down quickly, usually in less than 30 seconds. You can either move on to problem solving or reach an agreement to work on it at a better time.This way, everyone will feel respected and listened to, even when there is conflict. Feelings will be understood and respected, and it will bring your family closer together.49.
