My family is arguing, what should I do?
When my family is arguing, I first stay calm and neutral, try not to get involved in the fight, but take some steps to ease the tension. Next, I will elaborate on my coping method.
1. Stay calm.
It is very important to remain calm when the family is arguing. I try to keep my emotions in check and not let my emotions get involved in an argument. I would choose a relatively quiet place and keep myself calm in order to better handle the issue.
2. Understand the reasons.
Understanding the cause of a quarrel is the key to solving the problem. I will try to understand the views and positions of both sides in order to better understand the contradictions between them. I will listen to what both sides are saying, without interjecting, without interrupting, just quietly. This helped me better understand the nature of the problem and the needs of both parties.
3. Find common ground.
After understanding the perspectives of both sides, I will try to find common ground between the two sides. These commonalities can serve as a bridge for reconciliation between the two sides. I would try to direct both parties to focus on what they have in common so that they realize that their arguments could ruin their relationship.
Fourth, propose solutions.
Once I find common ground, I try to come up with a solution. These solutions can be compromises that are acceptable to both parties, or finding a new way to deal with the contradictions between them. I would encourage both parties to discuss these solutions together so that they feel that their opinions are valued and respected.
5. Seek outside help.
If both parties are unable to resolve the issue on their own, I would consider seeking outside help. This may include asking family, friends, or professionals to step in to help both parties resolve the conflict. External help can provide more objective perspectives and advice, which can help both parties communicate and understand better.
6. Continuous attention and concern.
After the quarrel is resolved, I will continue to monitor the relationship between family members to make sure that the tension between them has been eased. I will care about their feelings and needs so that I can identify problems and take action in time. In addition, I encourage family members to participate in some family activities to enhance their affection and trust with each other.
In summary, when there is a quarrel in the family, I take a series of steps to ease the tension and solve the problem. First of all, I will stay calm so that I can better handle this issue. Then, I understand the reasons for the quarrel, look for common ground between the parties, and try to come up with a solution. If both parties are unable to resolve the issue on their own, I would consider seeking outside help. Finally, after the issue is resolved, I will continue to monitor the relationship between family members to ensure that the tension between them has been eased. Through these methods, I believe that it can effectively help family members resolve conflicts and maintain family harmony.
