Listen with understanding
Make room for a calmer, more useful conversation.
Choose a time when both people can give the conversation their attention. Put distractions aside and agree on one topic to discuss.
Let the other person finish before responding. Summarise what you understood and ask whether you got it right. You do not have to agree to listen respectfully.
Describe a specific situation and what you would like to change. Agree on one practical next step, then return to the conversation later to see how it went.
