Keith raised his voice and said, “What? You mean I’m too old to wear the jacket again?”
“Just kidding, dad. But why were you shouting at me?” Johnny felt hurt, too. Both of them were a little upset.
Did you have a similar situation like the father and his son? If you did, here is some advice for you to remember when you’re getting angry.
Think from both sides. Your feelings are important and so are others’. Don’t always think yourself “right” or “clever” and the other person “wrong” or “stupid”.
Explain yourself in a proper way. You can speak out your ideas by starting with “I” but not “You”.
Remember to think carefully before replying to others. If you feel angry, it’s a good idea to stop for a while.
Don’t guess others’ meaning. Try to find out what he or she really feels, and tell him or her if you are wrong.
In a word, don’t forget that it’s never too late to follow these useful ways of communication.
1. Johnny wants to have his dad’s jacket because his father doesn’t want to have it.2. Both the father and the son have some problems communicating with each other.
3. We need to put others’ feelings before ours because others’ feelings are more important.
4. When you are in anger, you’d better control your feelings and think for some time.
5. The passage mainly wants to advise us to communicate after an argument.
