A friend just told us about a big (huge!) parenting decision they made as a family. They explained the reasoning and background. They acknowledged their fears and concerns. They expressed genuine excitement.
It’s the type of decision we’ll never do, but at the end of the conversation I thought Yeah, that makes sense. I’m happy for them. This sounds wonderful for their family.
Interesting idea to model for our kids: Yeah, that makes sense is a fine response for many, many things. We might not agree. We might go about life differently. We might zig when you zag. But Yeah, that makes sense is perfectly reasonable.
Gratefully Dad
