Good relationships make a difference to all aspects of our lives whether that is with partners, relatives, neighbours, work colleagues.
However, children who see adults working out relationship problems in a constructive way are more likely to follow this example and have better relationships with others and enjoy life.
Some key messages:
- Relationships are important and need work.
- Good relationships can make us content and fulfilled; yet poor relationships can also make us feel sad, afraid, or lonely.
- Arguments are a normal part of relationships but can be harmful when they are not properly resolved.
- There is a difference between relationship conflict and domestic abuse.
