Why Don’t We Learn This in School?

Coming at you today with a quick revelation. By now, you probably realize there’s a lot of practical stuff we don’t learn in school: personal finances, taxes, and so on.

But here’s something I find even more interesting—why don’t they teach us how to have healthy relationships?

Think about it. 

Relationships, marriages, and families are the very foundation of our society. 

Healthy relationships create strong, supportive environments that shape every aspect of our lives. They help us build better communities, and they’re essential to raising confident, empathetic, and well-rounded children. 

When kids grow up watching their parents navigate conflict, communicate openly, and support each other, they learn those same skills—and carry them into their own relationships as adults.

Our children learn everything from us, especially at a young age. So, instead of showing them how to yell at each other, avoid accountability, or give the silent treatment, why not teach them how to have a hard conversation with love and respect?

This is exactly why I poured so much time and energy into creating Relationship Reboot. It’s not just about helping couples strengthen their relationship—it’s about giving you the tools to model healthy communication and conflict resolution for your children so they grow up with the emotional intelligence and skills they need to thrive.

I’ve seen it firsthand. 

My own children regularly use the very framework I teach couples in therapy when they want to express their disagreement or dissatisfaction. 

The way they communicate—politely, openly, and with accountability—is a reflection of what I’ve taught them. And it’s so refreshing to see these lifelong skills being passed down to the next generation.

So whether you have kids or not, this is a great way to learn the valuable communication skills they don’t teach in school!
