In today's increasingly polarized world, disagreement often leads to disconnection — but it doesn’t have to. In this episode of webe Pärents, Drs. Alona Pulde and Matthew Lederman explore how we can model compassionate disagreement for our children, teaching them that connection can thrive even when opinions differ. Using the “Three C Bridge” — Curiosity, Compassion, and Connection — they offer real-life examples, practical tools, and inspiring insights for staying grounded, even during the toughest conversations. Discover how empathy, not agreement, becomes the path toward stronger families and a more united future.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why disagreement doesn't have to mean disconnection — especially with family.
• How fear of being "ousted from the tribe" shapes modern conflict.
• Why judgments form automatically — and how to translate them into needs.
• The power of the "Three C Bridge" (Curious, Compassionate, Connected) during conflict.
• How to model healthy disagreement for your kids in everyday life.
• Practical examples and role plays you can use at home.
• Why compassion requires courage — not agreement.
• How to create emotional safety even when walking away is necessary.

Have a Kinectin Account? Here are some topics to discuss with Amari and apply them to your personal life or relationships. Here are some thought provoking questions to ask yourself:

1. Sometimes it feels like one disagreement can cost a friendship or strain a relationship — have I created enough emotional safety in my home or friendships to allow disagreement without fear of disconnection?
2. In a world that pressures us to pick sides quickly, am I modeling curiosity and compassion when someone close to me thinks differently — or am I unconsciously teaching my kids (or partner) that love is conditional?
3. When I hear a viewpoint that triggers me, especially from my child or someone I love, can I slow down enough to ask: ‘What need are they trying to meet?’ — and respond from that place instead of from judgment?
