We all come into family with our own scripts. No wonder it&#8217;s hard work\u00a0coming to agreement on family rules, parenting strategies, launching kids, blending families, or just spending special\u00a0time together. My experience with families ranges from helping families\u00a0find common ground to ending\u00a0intense family conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes this is an exercise of re-vamping your\u00a0unfolding family story; at other times this requires practicing new strategies to build respect and comfort at home &#8211; something we all deserve.
