Summary

As we continue our series, Words that Matter for Your Family, this week we talk about the word "attunement," and why it's important for your spouse and kids to "feel seen" in their relationship with you. We define the word "attunement" and talk about why we should seek consistency, not perfection.

In this episode we talk about:

- Giving our kids the tools to communicate what they need when they don't feel seen or heard
- What it means to have an "Oh, there you are" attitude when you walk into a room
- Ways to attune to your spouse's needs when you feel a disconnect
- The correlation between having compassion and empathy for yourself and your kids having it for others
