Dynamic of a Power Struggle # 3

Dear Parents,

Continuing with our demonstration to illustrate the dynamics of a power struggle.   Just for fun, find someone nearby and ask them to join hands with you  and engage in a small tug of war.  Nothing crazy now.  Just one person pull, and the other resist the pull.  
 
I gave you the first two dynamics yesterday.  Now for the Third:
 
Dynamic # 3 -   And this is the most important of them all.  Get in your tug of war position for a second, and if you are alone, grab your own hands for just a second and notice this.  You are connected.  There is a connection to your partner, or your right side is now connected to your left side.  People who power struggle really want to be connected.  In some cases this is the only way in which they’ve learned to connect.  The desire to be connected meets the emotional needs for belonging and love.
