We all experience arguing, bickering, and verbal sparring in our homes. It can be draining as individuals, draining as parents, and it definitely is draining on the family as a whole. We might not be able to completely stop arguments from happening; therefore, Sarah Anderson provides some help on how to argue well.
Anderson writes:
"We can’t escape conflict and the arguments that may result. But with some practice (and if this quarantine time has given us anything, it’s the ability to practice arguing) we can at least get better at how we do it. We can do it so that there are less relational damage and emotional shrapnel. We can do it so our recovery times are shorter and our fuses are longer. We can begin to put into practice a valuing of our relationships with one another, even at the expense of getting what we want."
