Supporting parent relationships is the Islands commitment to reducing conflict between parents, we want parents to have the tools and knowledge they need to support them through their journey and be part of the positive outcome for their child. Causes: money, housing, transitions, and life. Most of us disagree at times in our relationships and not all conflict is damaging. But it can become an issue when it is frequent or poorly managed. Parental conflict in relationships can occur whether parents are living together or separated. It happens in all types of families: • Biological parents, • stepparents, • foster parents, • adoptive parents, • grandparents. Parental conflict is very different to domestic abuse. No one should ever make you feel threatened or unsafe. If this is how you feel there are many organisations and services that are there to support you.  The impact on children When children witness adults who shout loudly, argue a lot, or ignore one another frequently for long periods of time, it can negatively impact children's: • Self-esteem, • mental and physical health, • behaviour, • academic achievements, • future relationships with others. Research suggests this can affect how we parent our children and the quality of time we spend together. Top three tips for families 1. Try to spend quality time together and remember it doesn't have to cost money. 2. Talk to each other about how you feel and remember to listen. 3. Consider and ask each other's views and be willing and open to compromise. As adults we are role models for our children. Remaining calm and respectful while addressing any disagreements we may have, provides our children with all important life skills. This will help them with future interactions with others.
