Calm down before talking
Avoid exchanging when angry, give parents and children time for emotions to subside. When the psychology has calmed down, the conversation will be easier to enter listening and understanding.
Proactively open up first
Parents should be proactive in healing, opening up words to show goodwill to make peace instead of waiting for their children to speak up. Focus on solving problems instead of repeating past mistakes. If you have agreed on anything, do it right to rebuild trust.
Listen and not judge
Parents, let your child say everything they think, without interrupting or denying their feelings or actions. Be willing to apologize, admit when you behave inappropriately, helping your child feel respected.
Show understanding and emotion towards your child
Make it clear that you understand your child's feelings, even if you may not agree with their behavior. Loving and caring words help your child feel family bond.
Let's find solutions
Ask your child for advice on how to handle the situation so that both agree. Create an open communication environment, encourage and motivate your child to share regularly, avoid accumulating conflicts.
Spend quality time with your child
Parents should eat together, chat or participate in common activities to strengthen family affection after conflicts. Reconciling needs time, cannot be changed immediately, so parents should be calm and patient with their children.
