Raising Children | In-Laws | Family Changes

Growing Family?

  • Do you and your ex-spouse have different approaches on raising the children?
  • Are you struggling with your in-laws?
  • Are you experiencing conflicts due to changes in the family?

Anyone who says “the more the merrier,” clearly did not have a large family. The more members you add, the more room there is for tension and turmoil.

This may not always be the case, but it definitely heightens the chances of opposing views when you begin to look at the relationship you have with your grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, step parents, step siblings, in-laws, etc.

Merging families can be tough​

When we look outside the bubble of immediate family members, we see many things that could cause conflict, including:

  • Generational trauma
  • Opposing religious or spiritual beliefs
  • Cultural differences
  • Language barriers
  • Generational gaps (major lifestyle differences)
  • Conflict Management
  • Establishing Boundaries
  • Role Re-alignments
  • Mental health issues
  • Addictions
  • Becoming new parents
  • Discipline differences
  • Different Parenting Approaches
  • Family Rules & Expectations
  • Strong & Conflicting Emotions

Create a System that Works for Everyone

It is extremely common to feel misunderstood, criticized, or alienated within a family system and want to do something to change it.

In family counselling, each member in attendance must take responsibility for their actions and follow a system that works for everyone with guidance from the counsellor.

The whole idea behind this type of counselling is not to force change upon everyone, but instead we work together to grow and blossom into a peaceful family system where each member has their needs, feelings, and boundaries validated and accepted by the tribe.
