The Spill: A Story From 4 Perspectives

Ever lost your temper with your kids - and regretted it? Of course, we all have.Sometimes we lose our patience. Sometimes our kids do. Sometimes a small mistake becomes a much bigger one than we intended.The Spill: A Story from 4 Perspectives, is a book for families that offers a gentle way to revisit the moments that don't go the way we hoped. It can help children and the grown-ups who love them look beneath the behavior, understand what was happening for everyone involved, and find their way back to one another.Through the eyes of four family members, we discover how the same moment can feel completely different. What looks careless to one person may feel accidental to another. What looks like anger may be hurt, fear, embarrassment, or simply not knowing what to do next.Inspired by sophisticated communication frameworks from books like Crucial Conversations, Nonviolent Communication, The Spill models reflection, owning our own thoughts and actions, and repairing mistakes.
