Stephen Covey said, "Seek first to understand then to be understood." This is an important key to building relationships with your family and those you surround yourself with. If you understand first, you may have an easier time being understood. By simply trying to understand your children when they have a question or comforting and understanding your crying baby, you are working to seek first to understand.
