Thank you for your feedback. I probably should have clarified exactly what I meant. Healthy conflict resolution is absolutely something to model to children. Disagreement is totally fine. As for arguing, I was going off of this definition:

“exchange or express diverging or opposite views, typically in a heated or angry way.”

It’s one thing for parents to disagree about which cable provider to use. It’s something else when they’re arguing about, say, infidelity or money problems or about ex-spouses in co-parenting situations.

I can’t emphasize this enough — arguing about that kind of stuff can just utterly destroy the insides of a child (say, under 16). It changes who they are, and usually not for the better.

We can’t avoid arguments all the time, but we can aspire to be better. Don’t you think?
