Application
What conflicts have you had with your parents
How did you solve them
Think and Share
Once my mother and I had a conflict that I was not as good
as the other kids. I shouted,"You don't love me at all." Next day, my father told me that my mother cried after I shouted at her. In the end ,
I apologized to her, and she told me that she would never compare
me with other kids.
Sample answer
No family is perfect ....
We argue. We quarrel. And family is where we are loved the most but act the worst.
But in the end, family is still family.
The love will always be there.
