How To Stop Family Bickering

Examine Yourself First
Look in the mirror and do self examination and seek to be sure you are not the source for the bickering and the catalyst of family bickering. Seek to be a positive person and learn to speak in ways that are encouraging and uplifting.
Stop It Before It Begins
Begin to watch and learn what may trigger some of the family bickering. If you see patterns that are causes for family conflict work to communicate these patterns with your family and see them come to an end.
Speak Words That Are Positive
It is important that positive and encouraging words are spoken in the family unit on a regular basis. Practice this behavior yourself and train your children to do the same.
Allow For Growth
Bickering will occur in your family. Do not allow for it to continue, but do make the most of the bickering and learn to settle differences and allow for growth to happen as family members grow and learn new communication skills and lifestyle behaviors.
Pray and Pray and Pray Some More
Stay in tune with God. Pray for peace in your family. Keep on praying.
