Harmony, which includes love and understanding between the members of a family has been established as being critical for the psychological health needs of the family. If unresolved, conflicts do destabilise this balance, and this results in chronic strain and distress. Such conflicts, if left unresolved, lead to the development of an ill environment that not only straining the close ones but also the distant ones and mental health as well. The importance of resolving conflict is anchored on the need to have healthy homes where all the members of the family can feel comfortable, and have their situations valued. The result of the failure to settle the conflict can be anything from a misunderstanding to a hatred that will be passed from one generation to another. Thus, it is essential to identify ways on how the conflicts within the family can be managed efficiently to build and maintain a harmonious home. 
 
 The methods of conflicts solving are crucial instruments that can foster the relations within the framework of family membership and provide a suitable context for living. Implementation of skills like listening and understanding somebody else’s feelings, as well as agreeing to split the difference, helps families to come out of argumental business. It is self-explanatory that such approaches do not solely address the existing problems but also provide the tools to address any future disagreements in a healthy manner. Moreover, proper causes identification and resolution of conflicts ensure that delinquents do not tackle similar problems in the future, hence maintaining order in the society. Thus, by purposefully and constructively choosing the solutions, families are capable of taking conflicts and turn them into opportunities to enrich relationships. 
 

 
 Interpersonal conflicts stem from diverse stimuli, including how people interact, and their expectations and past events. For instance, conflicts such as miscommunication result in having wrong assumptions that only increases the level of hostility. Based on this view, the implication is that where family members are closed and do not discuss issues, then what might be considered small issue easily escalation to a major problem. Another category of conflicts is the ones based on various expectations; it is possible to establish expectations based on roles people play, responsibilities they bear, and even their lifestyles. For example, conflict such as how to raise children or how finance should be spent can cause cyclic quarrel. Bitterness carried over to the next generation where people continue fights, quarrels and bitterness trace to unresolved matters of the past like bitterness arising out of past hatred or early childhood emotional injury. 
 
 To avoid having a wrong perception of solving conflicts, it is essential to distinguish the causes of the conflicts. It is also important to understand that conflicts may be apparent, and underneath is always a root cause that needs to be solved. Thus, examining the causes of conflicts, families are able to solve the real issues and not just the manifestations of these issues. This means the group has to engage in a free and sincere discussion that makes everyone feel comfortable with their feelings or ideas.Knowledge of these root causes assists in the formulation of even more relevant and more appropriate means of combating and eradicating the root of such incidences so as to avoid future conflicts. 
 
 This approach erases misunderstandings and rivalry between family members because it establishes the basis for understanding, cooperation, and appreciation of each other’s opinions. It will make members to reflect on themselves and acknowledge their abilities to foster the conflict hence enhancing their change. This preventive strategy is not only effective in addressing the current problems but helps to develop the better family relationships based on the trust and understanding. That is why when common family members have a feeling that someone listens to them and understands them they will have cooperation and support within the family which creates a strong and healthy family. 
 

 
 Active listening is another sub-element of communication specifically for members within the families. Which means paying attention to the speaker, being able to avoid interjecting or cutting in and actually try to see and comprehend the other’s viewpoint. This practice assists in avoiding unconstructive misconceptions and shows recognition of each other’s opinions. Changing the tone of the conversation by the avoidance of accusative wording such as but ‘you’ affects communication positively. For instance, instead of using phrases such as 'You always…,’ using ‘I feel offended/in pain ’when…’ changes the blame focus to persons feelings. It also tends to mobilize defensiveness and create the conditions that enable a more adaptive conversation. It helps to recognize the validity of the partner’s feelings, even if there are differences on the matter at hand. The recognition of the fact that everyone has his/her right to feel this or that way fosters supportive environment and makes members to open up. 
 
 It is imperative to understand that cooperation and bargaining are probable solutions to the conflicts within the family. When group members are encouraged to come up with solutions themselves, that fosters a team feeling in the group. It enables family members to discuss many issues and find unique behaviors that can be acceptable to each of them. Another factor that relates to cooperation is the search for similarities and identification of values. It entails the common ground on which the two partners assume and have something in common that is likely to be negotiated. Keeping the focus on bargaining guarantees that none of the entities receives a raw deal from a negotiation. This approach in particular effectively deals not only with the existing conflict but also prepares members of the family for future problems and unhappiness indicating how they should be solved. 
 
 Sometimes, it can be helpful to go to a mediator or counselor if conflicts are difficult and run deep. Specific professional mediators or therapists bring in a third party which is unbiased to the situation and can help the families get to a resolution. For they assist in encouraging people to be frank in interpersonal relations, explore and sort out the existing problems, and learn how to avoid conflicts. Talking things over with a mediator or counselor is best when personalities clash, or families are not able to handle things on their own. Such caregivers are protectors of the families being involved in the controversy and offer safe outlets/venues for the families to discuss their problems and get solutions. 
 

 
 Closeness also calls for the working out of family issues, and having empathy helps to increase the working out of the conflicts that may arise within the family setting. Assuming one’s spouse, child, parent, sibling or friend’s role is very useful in the course of trying to build a more comprehensive diagnosis of the unique situation. It engulfs empathy and erases prejudice and thus, it becomes easier to resolve problems because people will not be so quick to judge one another. As Family members try to meet eye to eye when they have differences this makes the gap to be closed and brings the family together. By understanding feelings motivation an emotion present within an individual, or even a group, one is able to better explain behavior, which leads to improved interaction between units. 
 
 Thus, appreciation of other people’s view points helps in nurturing good and healthy family relations. It means embracing the principles of a postmodern approach by focusing on individual differences and accepting people’s feelings and perspectives. This understanding minimizes fight hazards as a result of assumptions and misinterpretations. As and when people in the family are valued for having different thoughts and feeling towards any issue thus, they are more likely to handle the disagreement amicably. This way of thinking promotes tolerance, and inclusion that depicts diversity as a source of strength not weakness as most conventional approaches to conflict do. The same also identifies those areas of agreement in an organized way, particularly in areas of values that form the basis of agreement and hence compromise. 
 
 Forgiving one another is one of the most important factors that may lead to the mending of ruptured families. A person cannot let go of past grudges and animosities because they can poison the present air, and prevent the present problems from being solved. Therefore, forgiving someone simply means letting go of the ill feelings or resentments that one has toward another person and not necessarily a dismissal of bad actions/behaviors. It helps end members of the duo emotional pain and repair of broken trust so that couples can get back on the right track. Enabling family members to forgive is a way to stop blame game and negativity that assails the family, affirmative interactions can then take root. The core family values that entail forgiveness and empathy help the family members to understand one another better and work on the relationships in the long run. 
 

Accordingly, the topic highlight the fact that it is crucial to resolve family conflicts in order to maintain the healthy and safe environment for children. When conflicts are allowed to escalate, then they degenerate into deep-seated issues and hence become a source of mental and emotional stress to all the members of the family. Most of these problems are solvable if proper methods will be put in practice to solve the conflict issues as follows; the ability to listen to one another, collaboration, and seeking the assistance of professional mediators. The method of active listening helps to make sure that everybody in the family is heard and understood, which prevents many conflicts and contributes to the proper mutual respect. The ability to and willingness to collaborate and compromise make the family members agree to problems solve in a manner that would mean everyone gets what they want since they are all in this together as a family. If the conflicts are beyond the families’ capability to sort out and solve autonomously, one may involve professional mediators or therapists who can provide a neutral point of view and facilitate the conflict-resolution process, which, in turn, will involve helping the family address the issues underlying the conflict. 
 
 Furthermore, the core values that need to be cultivated in a family are empathy and forgiveness with an aim to sustain the positive changes in the long run. Cohesion increases the ability of family members to respect one another’s opinion and emotions which are key to solving disputes amicably. This way, individuals in a family can overcome the set differences and refrain from judgment, thus building a tolerant environment. In turn, forgiveness can be understood as a process of leaving behind all resentments and vengefulness, which will help pave the way to emotional reconciliation and the process of trust rebuilding. Thus, it is seen that when families adopt empathy and forgiveness as their key values, families can stop the blame game and improve the quality of their interactions and the quality of the relationship. The parents and other close paternal figures provide for every family member’s personal and emotional needs while practicing respect, understanding, and flexibility in crises that may later threaten a society’s stability. In this way, families deliberately and intentionally work towards resolution, and thus their homes become safe havens where the members can grow and progress.
