“perfect family”. That means that all families are
having conflicts, problems and struggles in their
lives.”

Can you recall one unforgettable

misunderstanding that happened in your family? Yes, ma’am
How did your family cope with the tension it (Students will answer randomly.)
caused?

“Let us discuss the 4 Causes of Family Conflict

according to K. Lee Banks.”

4 Causes of Family Conflict by K. Lee Banks

Family harmony provides a sense of belonging

and a feeling of security unlike many other
types of relationships. When conflict arises, it
threatens that security. Whether the
disharmony initiates from within the family unit
or from external sources, individual family
members and the family as a whole can
experience a range of negative emotions and
consequences. Unresolved conflict may
irreparably damage a marriage and the entire
family if family members do not seek help.

One major source of family conflict is within the

area of finances--specifically, the lack of enough
money to pay bills, maintain the mortgage or
rent, buy sufficient food and other necessities
and have any remaining money for recreation 2.
job or career may contribute to conflict within a
family. If a parent’s job keeps him away from
home most of the time, the spouse at home with
the children often feels neglected or
overwhelmed. Conversely, if the parent
becomes unemployed, this causes its own form
of stress and conflict, as finances dwindle and
uncertainty sets in about the future.

“What is the first cause of family conflict?”

“Financial problems or it could be Financial problems, ma’am
 FINANCES ND JOBS.”

Another cause of family conflict is the inevitable

rivalry that occurs between siblings. Children
typically seek their parents’ attention and
approval, even if this requires tattling on, or
sometimes causing harm to, a sibling. Whether a
child expresses jealousy of her sibling, competes
with him or teases him non-stop, it is destined to
cause conflict. Each child deserves an equal
amount of parental love and acceptance, yet
sometimes a parent may favor one child over
another. This merely intensifies the conflict.
“What was the second cause?”
“Or what we call SIBLING RIVALRY” Rivalry that occurs between siblings.

While mutual agreement on the subject of child

discipline is crucial, the lack of consensus opens
up another potential area for family conflict. If
one parent acts as the “disciplinarian,” the other
parent typically becomes the “consoler” to whom
the children turn -- this often pits one parent
against the other.
“What was the cause here?”
“Okay, CHILD DISCIPLINE. Child discipline, ma’am.

Jokes and movies abound regarding conflict with

in-laws (especially mothers-in-law); however,
when you actually become involved in
disagreements with your in-laws or extended
family, it is no laughing matter. While it is
preferable to respect your elders--parents and
grandparents on both sides equally--this can
prove to be challenging. If relatives routinely
interfere in your family’s decisions and lifestyle,
conflict frequently results.
“What was the last cause?”
“Or IN-LAWS AND EXTENDED FAMILY.” Problems with in-laws.

“Do you have further questions?”

None, ma’am.
D. Application
“I am going to read a scenario and then you would have
to identify whether what cause is that.”
1. I don’t have enough money to bought flowers for my
girlfriend on valentines that’s why she broke up with me. 1. Finances and Jobs
2. My grand parents were so mad at me when I wasn’t
able to do the dishes. 2. In-laws and Extended family
3. George’s brother is so smart that’s why he’s parents’
attention were always towards him. 3. Sibling Rivalry

Very good everyone.. please give yourselves a round of

applause

E. Generalization

Okay. Did everyone understand the lesson about 4

causes of family conflict? Yes, ma’am.
 F. Evaluation
“Now let’s have the activity. In your notebook, you
are going to answer the diagram on the next page.
What you are going to do is to fill the diagram
with causes of family conflict and then you are
going to write a short description of each
conflict.”
“Isthat clear?” Yes, ma’am.

G. Assignment

For your assignment you have to answer the

questions below. Answer that on your notebook.

1. Which of these conflicts have you experienced

with your family? Why?
2. What did you do to resolve the said conflict in
your family?

Any question class? None, ma’am.

If you don’t have any question, keep all your notes.

That will be all for today.

Goodbye class. See you tomorrow. Good bye ma’am.
