I recently had a disagreement
with my dad for treating my younger brother not fairly. My dad thinks that my
younger brother is not responsible and doesn’t care about saving his money. I
have heard my dad screaming at him and telling him that he needs to grow up.
Based on the conflict resolution that we studied this week communication
climate is important is how we talk to one another. In this case, my dad is not
showing empathy to my brother while communicating with him. He needs to
understand his feeling and try to solve his issue with him differently and
understanding his point of view. In this case the three R’s, which is consist, of Respectful,
Reciprocal, and Responsive, building positive interactions to promote effective
relationships. Its important for my dad and brother to understand about the
three Rs. This would positively impact communication because we must first
respect others and our differences. The respect needs to be reciprocated
between people. Reciprocating respect allows relationships to develop by
effectively learning about each other and developing trust. Responsiveness
shows that the person communicating is listening to each other (Chesire, 2007).

Hello Naire. I totally agree with you. I have never been a fan of communicating through yelling. I think you gave your father excellent advice. To effectively communicate, everyone needs to show respect and promote positive interactions with each other. I believe by implementing the 3R's, this will happen. Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteHello Naire,
ReplyDeleteI can see why you had a disagreement with your father. Sometimes in the midst of a conflict, we do not stop to think of all insider and outsider perspectives. He may not have thought about how you view his yelling at your brother or your feelings about it. That is nice that you stood up for your brother. Maybe he will be more gentle with him. I can definitely relate to your issue because my parents also frequently have talks with my brother about responsibility and saving money. Hopefully you can inform your father about different conflict resolution strategies and he can find more effective ways to communicate with your brother. Good luck with your situation. Thank you for sharing your story.
