It's natural for parents and their adult children to have disagreements. The best way to handle this is by having an open dialogue about the issue, expressing your opinion and respecting their opinion even if it differs. There needs to be a balance between standning up for what you believe in, while still finding compromise so that everyone can coexist in harmony.

It can be really stressful when family arguments become regular occurrences. In this situation, the best way to handle it is to approach your parents calmly and try to open up a dialogue about why they’re feeling angry or frustrated. Make sure you're listening attentively and validating their feelings. Chances are, they're feeling overwhelmed and want to connect on a deeper level—they just don't know how. Respectfully asking them questions so that you can better understand why they’re feeling the way they are could help strengthen your relationship in the long-run—allowing for healthier communication around decision-making and any underlying disagreements that may arise.
