A subscriber asked, "Can you explain healthy conflict vs unhealthy conflict in front of kids - don’t they need to see some level of conflict to learn? Such as watching mom and dad disagreeing on where to eat or a promise that was broken but then also see it resolved?" I've written about how toxic constant marital conflict is for kids, but what level is okay? Listen to this episode to figure out whether you are striking a healthy balance between toxic and avoidant.
