Relationships matter
Reducing parental conflict and building healthier relationships
Conflict between parents is a normal part of relationships and family life. Conflict can be present between parents whether they are together or separated.
It can range from a lack of warmth and emotional distance, through to swearing and shouting.
Not all conflict is damaging. It starts to become a problem when conflict between parents is -
- frequent
- intense
- poorly resolved
Parental conflict is a known risk factor for poor child outcomes including -
- academic
- behavioural
- emotional
- social
development.
