Learning about differences, an eye contact preferences, opens up opportunities for deeper connections, and helps us better understand each other. Ways to accommodate these differences include: having a conversation facing outward, rather than facing each other, such as talking while walking, biking, or swinging. Making space for brief eye contact, or is it focus elsewhere, such as hand movements, the forehead, or just passed the shoulder. Chosen social activities that minimize eye contact, like flying kites or building an epic marble run.
