I had a moment of frustration where I lacked some emotional control and spoke my mind. Not that I feel I was wrong but I didn't treat the other person with as much kindness that I tend to lean towards.
I could say that the others opinion was something I feel strongly against. What I should have done was communicated with more kindness rather than being defencive. Here are ways I see things.
How I reacted:
You are wrong, anyone has the right to choose at whatever age. If the action doesn't cause harm to anyone, why stop it.How I feel I should have reacted:
Why do you feel this way? What do you suggest we do? Let's discuss it.What I am saying is that no matter how strongly we feel about an action or choice we still need to be open minded and listen. You create a feeling of team work, you show support and let others know you can have an open mind with an opinion. Perhaps if this is used in a daily basis you can develop stronger relationships and a better environment for everyone involved.
I'll treat this as a lesson learnt.
