For anyone worried about spending an extended period of time with their family over the festive season, fret no more!

Families may want to lay down communication "ground rules" prior to family gatherings that will protect relatives from being attacked. These rules might include:
--Speak using only “I” statements.
--Avoid blame. Instead of blame, ask questions to gain coherence and understanding.
--Don't let relatives to interrupt each other.
--Engage in generous listening instead of treating listening as an opportunity to “reload” during a disagreement.
