The Seat at Dinner

What would you say at the table?

The Seat at Dinner

A family member repeatedly makes cruel remarks about someone you love. Challenging them will probably split the family gathering and may end your relationship with them. Staying quiet will keep the peace, but the person beside you will notice.

What would you say at the table?

Then ask

  • Would you speak as firmly if the cruel person had power over your future?
  • Who in your family are you still afraid to confront?
  • When does keeping the peace become taking a side?❯

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
