Parenting

PhillyHealthInfo.org - Family Health - A family is more than a group of individuals. A family is a special place where people feel supported and able to pursue their dreams. Through family, we pass along values, teach, and grow. Unfortunately, a family can also be a place of conflict. Conflicts and disagreements are a normal part of family life. They allow people to communicate their differences and express their feelings. Sometimes conflicts over tough issues like illness, injury, changing jobs, changing schools, moving, and financial problems can spiral out of control.
