7 Ways to Resolve Family Conflicts
5. Don’t let the family get divided into camps
One of the worst things that can happen during family conflicts is that the family gets divided into groups or camps according to opinion. This may literally turn out to be a verbal war. Make sure that the family remains bonded as one group and doesn’t split into smaller teams that are armed against each other.
6. Get your family to commit to the common agreeable solution
Reaching an agreeable solution is not the end of solving a family conflict. A more important commitment that you need to take from all the battling family members is to stick to the solution. If everyone forgets about the solution reached within a month, a similar conflict is likely to ensue again.
7. Talk to everyone individually
Irrespective of how many family members are involved in a fight, talking to everybody and making everyone feel comfortable is critical. Talk to each member individually and figure what the root cause of the problem is and what they think should be done. Many family members wouldn’t voice their opinion in front of everybody but when asked individually, would open up.All the families undergo troubled phases or times of crisis. In such times, it is important that someone takes up the responsibility of being the moderator. Instead of letting your family fall apart, use techniques by which you can solve family conflicts and keep all the relationships going strong.
