Details make all the difference in family gatherings
Not all family conflict can be avoided, but with the attitudes below, some will certainly not start. Check out:
- Upon arriving at the site, keep the good energy and politeness.
- Avoid long answers, just laugh in a relaxed way.
- Do not wait to resolve issues on the holiday date, try to complete everything beforehand.
- Don't start conversations that could trigger an argument, such as a breakup or cheating.
- Determine your limits well. That way you won't hear things that destabilize you.
- Whenever possible avoid provocative words or nudges. So you don't even start discussion.
- If necessary, change the subject. From preferences to lighter themes.
- Before debating or starting any agenda, think carefully about how and what words to use.
- Review everything that happened at the last family meeting and what can be improved this year.
- Don't wear yourself out with already known issues. If someone complains about the prepared dishes, for example, direct this function to them. See where each one can fit in to avoid dissatisfaction.
- Prefer to be with people you are more intimate with, be it friends or family.
- If you have a relative who likes to start arguments, avoid being alone with them.
- do not exceed the alcohol limit. This will keep you from losing track of what you say and do.
- Think of fun activities for kids.
- In many moments the debate is not the best option, especially if you are already considered problematic. Just accept that even if you don't agree, you don't have to disagree right then.
- Pay attention to new family members.
- Avoid targeted questions, always prefer broader ones that allow for collective sharing.
- Know that these meetings and events are not a wrestling match or a debate to be won. Try to take everything in the best way and enjoy the moment with those who matter.
