Short Answer
1. What are some common conflicts that occur within families? Why do you think families sometimes have difficulty resolving conflicts?
Teaching Suggestion: To prepare students for this prompt, it may be a good idea to review the definition and types of conflict as a whole class. Conflict is a common occurrence between family members, and it is important to remember that some students may have different thresholds when it comes to what conflict means to them. Sharing some of the viewpoints from the first resource before students address the questions may help them brainstorm examples of conflicts. You might consider displaying the first question for students to collaborate on in small groups or as a whole class, then having students do a think-pair-share for the second question.
