Recently, personal issues caused by political movements and social unrest have been gradually emerging, such as emotion issues, interpersonal problems etc. Amongst, family conflict is one of the most common issues. According to a research conducted by a research centre of The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, more than 40% of interviewees showed they had conflicts with their family members in the past six months. The main quarrels were because of the nature of the social issues and the differences in social stances, which makes up to 70.9%. Interviewees also expressed that the difficulties of communicating with family members and the concern about direct confrontations. These family conflicts lead to the development of emotional issues and affect personal development.
Some professionals pointed out that tensions formed between family members because of the social unrest incidents, which may lead to server emotional issues. During the family conflicts, we should put aside personal stances and try not to be judgemental towards family members. Parents could always provide the sense of security and love to their children, and observe if children are suffering from any emotional problems, such as changes in eating and sleeping habits etc.
Social workers advice that family discussions should be communicative and caring and understanding each other in nature instead of argument winning. Below are a few ways to relieve conflicts:
- Provide quiet intervals
- Turn off the television temporarily
- Keep daily communication or activities, such as hiking or socializing
- If conflicts keep unresolved, please seek help from professionals
