ARE CONFLICTS WITH YOUR SPOUSE HURTING YOUR CHILD?

Amy Smith, MS, Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern
Conflict is something everyone has to deal with sometime. Parents invariably have some conflict in their lives whether they are married, separated, or divorced. Often when families are dealing with divorce there is a heightened level of parental conflict. For children, having to deal with parental conflict is a terrible burden to bear. The actions of parents during this difficult time can affect all aspects of a child’s youth and have lingering effects well into adulthood. It is important for parents to be aware of this so they can make good choices and ensure their children learn appropriate ways to manage conflict. The Orlando counselors and life coaches at Life Skills Resource Group are available to help families make good choices in managing conflict in a healthy manner.
