Discuss the negative effect of conflict avoidance in dealing with conflict amongst family members​

The negative effect of conflict avoidance in dealing with conflict amongst family members is that it can bring on the possibility of more conflicts. You avoid the conflict but it's still there and so is the bitterness and the bad feelings they may feel towards you because of the unsolved conflict. The feelings that you may or may not feel towards them because of the conflict are also there. Once there is a problem and it isn't solved it can bring other members of the family into the issue. Some people feel as though they need them to pick sides, and this can lead to feelings of resentment. Conflict avoidance can also unintentionally hurt others whether it is physically or mentally. The conflict may be hard to handle and could be draining for others, so people's physical and mental health can be negatively affected as well. Kids who may or may not be involved are still growing, their brains are still developing, kids being involved in this unsolved matter can potentially lead to them having poor social skills and can also lead to general harm in their development.
