As parents we often make a lot of mistakes. There are a lot of bad days over the eighteen years of your child’s life and it doesn’t end there. Lets face it, life is hard. One thing that a lot of people worry about is fighting in front of your child. Research shows that if you fight right, it is actually not the worst thing you can do. Fighting in a healthy way shows your child how to deal with strong feelings, conflict resolution, and showing your child that you can fight and make up.

Key Takeaways:

• There should always be boundaries when fighting, such as no name calling or physical harm
• It’s okay to be angry about something, but it’s never okay to take your feelings out on someone else
• This could impact your children in their relationships when they get older whether in a good or bad way
