description: "Acknowledging that a certain amount of fighting in families is inevitable, this guide outlines how some fights can be prevented and how others can be quickly resolved with minimum conflict. Demonstrated is how families can actually benefit from conflict, which provides both a necessary release of pent-up feelings and a path toward healing. The triggers and the nature of family fights are discussed, allowing families to learn lessons about their patterns of behavior. Parents are coached to teach their children how to relate well to each other and how equitable resolutions to fights can be achieved. Also explained is the importance of making rewards and punishments effective, how vital life skills can be developed by avoiding and resolving family fights, and how family meetings are crucial to managing fighting and how they can work with children at various ages."
