Two of the most important parenting skills are managing one’s own stress and modeling healthy adult relationship communication. Setting boundaries individually and jointly can protect children from situations when they might be exposed to too much of their parent’s distress and also show them that their separated parents can successfully manage their new lives.</description><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jan 2024 20:26:45 GMT</pubDate><category>Divorce &amp; Coparenting</category><author>High Conflict Institute</author></item><item><title>Domestic Violence vs. High Conflict Families: Are one or two people driving the conflict?</title><link>https://www.highconflictinstitute.com/domestic-violence-vs-high-conflict-families-are-one-or-two-people-driving-the-conflict/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.highconflictinstitute.com/domestic-violence-vs-high-conflict-families-are-one-or-two-people-driving-the-conflict/</guid><description>For years, there has been a tension between the terms “high conflict families” and “domestic violence” in family courts.
