Dealing with conflict in your home is all about timing and approach. If done correctly, it can usher in a new day of hope! If done poorly, it can take you years to mop up the mess.

Hi, I’m Mark Gregston… with Parenting Today’s Teens.

I know a Dad who held everything in… and then exploded in when problems piled up. He had a short fuse. Mom, on the other hand, nitpicked and nagged on every little thing. So the son gave up! He couldn’t win. And he clammed up, as well. Simple normal problems caused devastating dysfunction.

Hey, if this family sounds like your family, step back, take a deep breath, and make some bold changes. Your normal daily conflicts can turn into giant problems if they go unresolved.

So don’t ignore… and don’t nag. Instead, work through conflict like grown-ups and pave the way for deep satisfying relationships.
