Reducing Family Conflict
There are many different views on how to parent a teenager, we won’t get it right every time. Many parents experience conflict with their teenagers as they become young adults for example arguing, shouting, swearing or aggressive behaviour. Disagreements between siblings can be a major problem for families. This can be upsetting and lead to conflict between parents and teenagers. Teenagers friendships can influence how they speak and behave at home.. Teenagers need limits and rules for their behaviour and need to learn to get on with others at home, at school and in their community. Triple P gives tips and ideas that make parenting easier and help you come up with a plan to reduce family conflict.
