Family fights are 1 pleasant. Whether you are dealing with a loud sister or a stubborn mom or dad, the situation can be bad. At least that’s 2 we have learned to expect.
What if it could be different? What if family fights and conflicts could be turned into chances to become closer? What if problems could be solved with everyone walking away feeling more deeply cared 3 and loved?
Family fighting is, on one level, about power. Someone is telling someone else what to do. In a short moment, emotions can be brought out and the fight is 4 . You can go down that old road or you can try
5 different.
In any fight, you have a need to be listened to and understood. People raise their voices and 6 at each other because they’re not being listened to. It’s totally unconscious. You want your mom or dad to listen and understand.Butyoualwaysseemstoforgetthepersonyou’refightingwithhasthesameneedtobelistenedto. So if you can 7 your need for a few minutes, the situation will change quickly. Give the other person some time to express his or her feelings, and you will earn your 8 to be listenedto.
And while you are listening, you have to listen for the right information. The best way to do this in 9 situations is to forget most of the words 10 many people can’t express what they are feeling with words alone, especially when they areupset.

Erica dreamed many times about going fishing. But her father wouldn't agree. "It's much too dangerous for you," he'd say. Erica tried to change her father's mind. But her father only said, "I don't want you to be unhappy. I'm just worried about you."
Erica couldn't understand why her father wouldn't let her go fishing. She could swim very well—much better than some of her friends.
"You said I should always try new things," Erica said to her father. "You said that that's the only way people grow inside."
Erica's father said, "But sometimes a new thing can be dangerous and".
"Is going on boats dangerous?" asked Erica."Then why do you do it? Benny Nathan is younger than I am.
But he goes fishing all the time."
Erica's father said, "But you're not as strong as Benny."
Erica knew her legs weren't very strong. But her arms were. She had to show her father that she was strong.
That Saturday when Benny came over, Erica asked him to race her in the swimming pool. Her father came along to watch.
"This is a special race,"Erica said. "You can only use your arms, not your legs."
Benny started off quickly, but soon his arms became tired. Erica began to pull ahead. She got to the end of the pool first.
After the race was over, Erica's father said, "I was wrong. You can take care of yourself--on a boat, or other places."
Two days later, she was on a boat heading out to the deep sea. Her father was sleeping next to her on a chair.
1. What was Erica’sdream?
2. Why did Erica’s father say no to herdream?
3. IfyouwereErica,wouldyousticktoyourdreameventhoughyourdadsaidno?Why?
