learn to develop healthy relationships and to resolve conflicts in peaceful
ways.

possible and appropriate, children shall continue to have both parents in their
lives and parents shall be encouraged to work out agreements between themselves
regarding their children.
(4) The safety
and economic well-being of family members shall be given priority.

members in conflict must have appropriate forums in which to grieve and accept
change.
