Arguments in the Home

As parents, we want the best for our kids. Sometimes parents can clash over what is best for their children because they have different views and beliefs of the world. This is perfectly okay. It's healthy to have your own opinion and beliefs and it is healthy to show your children that having your own mind and your own beliefs is an essential tool that they will carry with them into adulthood. Learning to communicate, say what they really want and make compromises is key. 

Parents don't want to fight in front of their children. I have worked with a couple of parents who said they argued in the heat of the moment, that they couldn't help it because they were so angry. Showing your young children, even your teenagers this, can result in copied behaviour. 

We have to be very careful what we say to one another, children will learn to take sides and this is where they will start to show who they're favourite parent is. This isn't good.

If this is you, or you feel you have something else relating to the disagreements you have with your partner, then let's talk. Let's not let it get out of control.
