Whether you're together or separated, disagreements are completely normal. But evidence shows that regular conflict has a big impact on your children.
Conflict might look like:
- a lack of warmth or emotional connection
- shouting and swearing at each other
- not accepting the outcome of arguments
- destructive behaviour that gets in the way of managing everyday life.
It can affect your children's:
- mental health and happiness
- school life
- sleep
- health
- relationships with other people.
Getting relationship help can improve all of these issues.
