Dr. Huerta shares his expertise on the most common sources of family conflict and offers insights on how parents can identify and address these issues early on. Discover practical advice on managing sibling rivalry, teaching your children effective communication skills, and the vital role of forgiveness and reconciliation in resolving disputes. Learn how parents can mediate conflicts without being overly controlling, and how to turn everyday arguments into opportunities for growth and understanding.
