Families will often experience various conflicts, where children are upset and angry with parents, parents disagree with each other, or when siblings are at war. Each family handles these conflicts differently and whilst most families will experience disagreements, sometimes the conflict is continual and ongoing, causing distress for children and parents.

Families will experience conflict and stress for various reasons, commonly occurring due to a change. The experience of separation or divorce is a time of significant change for individuals and families. This adjustment can come with many challenges, and many find it difficult and stressful to adjust to the changed circumstances and the new situation.

Working on family dynamics and conflict can be extremely beneficial for families by establishing rules, setting boundaries, reclaiming relationships and safely expressing feelings. By taking small, manageable steps to a healthier lifestyle, families can work toward meeting their goals to be psychologically and physically fit.
