How to Navigate and Transform Conflicts with Those We Care About, According to Author Priya Parker
Confirmed
In Short: Priya Parker, author of 'The Art of Fighting,' offers insights on how to engage in constructive conflicts with loved ones.
According to Priya Parker, author of 'The Art of Fighting: The Transformative Power of Conflict,' the answer is yes—conflicts with people we care about can be navigated and transformed into positive experiences. Parker, a conflict resolution facilitator for 20 years, shares advice on how to approach these challenging interactions, whether with partners, family members, or friends.
In a separate development, the National Health Law Program's Sexual & Reproductive Health team is working to advance more expansive and accessible sexual and reproductive health care. According to their statement, "Everyone deserves accessible, no-cost contraceptive care and to make informed decisions." This initiative aims to address systemic obstacles created by harmful legislation and policies, health care refusals, and other barriers that disproportionately affect marginalized communities.
The team's work is part of a broader effort to ensure that all people, regardless of their background, have the right to comprehensive and quality sexual and reproductive health care. "We affirm that all people—not just those who are wealthy, cisgender, heterosexual, without disabilities, born in the U.S., and white—are entitled to this care," the team states.
Finally, in the context of education for those with learning disabilities, the 1970 Handicapped Children’s Act marked a significant shift in how these students were treated. At the time, the term "profound and multiple learning disabilities" was not commonly used, and these students often received 'special care' in separate classes or units. This historical context highlights the evolution in educational approaches for students with learning disabilities.
