Conflict with family members over the holidays are common. High expectations that aren’t met, traditions that not everyone enjoys equally, new and old family members that collide. Conflicts over the holidays can be managed.

Tips to work with family conflicts during the holidays:

Time outs! Agree to give each other space.

Dealing with conflicts when everyone is agitated isn’t going to work. Calm down your nerves, then unite again.

Agree to disagree! Not everything needs to end in a consensus.

The repair is more important than the actual conflict.
