Make home a haven

Home should be a haven from the conflicts of the outside world—a place where family members can feel safe and accepted.

Here are some things you might try:

Create a climate of peace in your home. Relaxing music can help.
Learn to resolve differences quickly and privately. Teach your children that negative feelings destroy the peace within your home.

Look for opportunities to express appreciation and love to each family member.
