Description

What if your need to be right is actually what’s breaking your connection? In this episode, Matt & Alona unpack how “correcting” can quietly shut down your child—or partner—and how to shift from facts to feelings instead. You’ll learn a 4-step pause that replaces fixing with empathy and helps you connect before you correct.

Moments that hit home:

• ✨ When your kid says “nobody likes me” — and why “that’s not true” misses the moment.
• 💔 The “helpful” correction that made a child shut down.
• 💡 Why couples jump in to be “right,” and how waiting protects closeness.

👉 Nudge: “When my child says ‘nobody likes me,’ I rush to fix it. Coach me to pause, reflect their feelings, and ask one curious question before responding.”

👉 Nudge: “I correct my partner’s details to be accurate. Help me practice waiting or asking consent before correcting—so I choose connection over control.”
