Respect each other's space, but remember a caring touch can mean a lot. When disagreeing or correcting each other, be direct and firm, but respectful. Encourage play that teaches children to be good sports. Show them how to have fun without fighting and name calling or watching violent shows. Learn about your family history, culture or race.
Build family traditions around it.
Help each other accept responsibility for actions and behavior. Don't blame others for your reactions. Discourage abuse of tobacco, or alcohol and other drugs that can divide families. Be a role model for responsible use. Do what you can to help yourself.
