Family Conflict Management

Family Programs

Parenting Partnerships, Inc. provides family life education
that strengthens and stabilizes family relationships.

Parenting Partnerships Conflict Management program is a personalized approach to learning to deal with the results of behavior when parents are in conflict with each other or with their children. Participants learn to identify anger triggers, discover comfortable, appropriate ways to manage conflict and learn skills that will help communicate nonviolently.

Everyone has their own perceptions and their own way of doing things. What works for one doesn't necessarily work for another. When perceptions differ, the result may be an explosion directed at others - or an implosion if you tend to suppress your frustrations. Realistically, people rarely perceive any given situation in the same way.

Conflict happens. It is impossible to eliminate it from your life. The more you understand about your personality and your response to conflict, the easier it will be to discover management techniques that will work for you.

Accepting another's reality is a prerequisite to having peace of mind and maintaining control over your own reactions. No one gets things right all of the time. By not accepting this reality your relationships can be damaged and your physical and mental health can be compromised. Sometimes you have to stop and think - is it more important for you to be right, or is it more important to have healthy relationships with those you work, parent, or partner with?

The best way to teach Conflict Management to children is to model it. Parenting Partnerships, Inc. CFLEs can support you in your efforts to teach your children anger and conflict management in healthy, responsible ways. You are the greatest benefactor when you develop the ability to manage your anger and conflict.

You can't change another's behavior,
but you can certainly change the way you react to it!

Parenting Partnerships, Inc. also offers a family Conflict Management Package for parents that would like support for helping their children manage their anger. Please contact Parenting Partnerships, Inc. for more information, as this program is customized to fit your family needs.
