Make sure you’re not doing any of those behaviors or actions first. You’ll see much more progress when you look to improve your behavior or actions than you will attempting to correct another adult behavior. If you do this, you’ll learn that you can do a lot more with your improved self than you ever will by trying to change someone else.
