Ellen says: When you are told something upsetting or disappointing, do you listen to what is being said? Do you listen to the perspective and the feeling of the speaker? Or do you wait for your chance to disagree, to express your disapointment, to turn the conversation back to you? Disappointments are part of everyday life, and every family's life. But the things you are disappointed about is often far less important than the message you convey by how you react. Being respoectful in the face of disappointment does not compromise your viewpoint, but it also does not compromise an atmosphere of love and concern.
