Conflict can be Repaired
Parental conflict can range from constructive to destructive, to domestic violence in its most extreme form. Fortunately, normal levels of conflict are manageable and even give children chances to learn and grow, provided everyone remains safe. Much long-term harm to your child is preventable, and damage from many forms of conflict can be repaired.
Children Need Emotional Support to Thrive
Just as plants need soil to grow, your child needs emotional nourishment from you for their emotional and social development. As a parent, you are like a gardener. You and the relationships you create around your child become the soil your child grows in.
Low level conflict between parents is a normal part of family life. While it can include accommodating behaviours (such as staying calm, and seeing the other parent’s point of view), there are times when it becomes destructive. Being around destructive conflict between parents (such as anger, distrust, threats, shouting, or the ‘silent treatment’) is like a toxin or bad soil. You might not see the damage at first, but emotional toxins can have a negative impact on your child’s long-term mental health and future life chances.
Importantly, most parents can make small changes that make big differences to your child’s life, allowing them to thrive and flourish.
反思
Consider how you respond to your partner or former partner when you are in a verbal disagreement, that’s unpleasant but not unsafe. Do you recognise unhelpful behaviours in yourself? If you do, there is something you can do about it, beginning with communicating differently.
