Unpopular opinion: The forced proximity in a tiny house has my teenagers negotiating bathroom time with the efficiency of a corporate merger.
I never expected minimalist living to turn my kids into tiny diplomats.

But does that forced negotiation actually teach compromise, or just how to claim territory faster?

Covert training for conflict resolution is so accurate. When my siblings and I shared one bathroom, we made a color-coded schedule that stopped most arguments. It felt silly but actually taught us to respect each other's time.

That "efficiency of a corporate merger" line is spot on. This forced proximity might be covert training for real-world conflict resolution. Negotiating scarce resources under pressure mirrors professional mediation, so your kids could become adept team players.
