Misunderstandings can be tricky to navigate. But as Ryan Hart comes to learn in Ways to Make Sunshine, understanding the other person’s point of view goes a long way toward finding middle ground.
Have your reader rewrite a scene from a different character’s perspective. It's an excellent practice for using active listening skills and developing social-emotional skills such as empathy.
