What goes wrong for Jag’s family?

In the first part of the clip, Ravi and Amrita are both worried about money, even though they don’t say so straightaway. When Ravi says, “Everything all right?”, he seems annoyed.

It also sounds like Amrita is not happy about Jag’s new trainers: “What are you wearing, sweetheart?”

They argue about money in front of Jag. They even ignore him when he tries to show them his drawing.
– “It’s not like we can afford them.”
– “I can provide for my own child, thank you.”

Jag hears his parents arguing and runs out of the room.

Could something like this happen in your family? What could you do differently?

‍In the second part of this clip, Jag’s parents talk about what is really going on.This time, they don’t put Jag in the middle.

They use some important skills:
– STOP AND THINK. What else is going on?
– STAY CALM

Ravi takes a moment to think about what might be upsetting Amrita: “What’s going on, Am?”

This helps Amrita to stay calm. She tells Ravi about a job she didn’t get.

This conversation ends with Ravi and Amrita comforting each other. What difference does this make for Jag?

If something like this comes up in your family, what skills could you use to stay calm? How could you stop and think about what else might be going on?
