Dealing with conflict

Every family faces conflict at one time or another.

We can choose how we deal with conflict. Resolving conflict through peaceful communication leads to growth, maturity, and self-confidence. Unresolved conflict, on the other hand, leads to discord, frustration, bitterness, and the breakdown of family relationships.
