According to the Centers for Family Change, common family problems include communication breakdowns, lack of discipline, lack of respect, parenting concerns and adjustment to divorce. Frequent arguments, avoidance, angry outbursts, disagreement and physical conflict within a family reveal that there are problems. Drug abuse, harassment, gambling, financial challenges, issues of sexuality and lack of trust are the main triggers of problems within a family.
Lifeline notes that family problems cause negative emotions such as anxiety, sadness and anger. Family members may also feel isolated, confused, exhausted and stressed when they experience family problems.
Accepting personal differences, talking, having fun together and getting professional help are effective strategies through which many family problems are solved. Therapists help family members to overcome their communication challenges and achieve more meaningful relationships.
Parents need to take control and develop effective discipline strategies so that they can prevent common family problems. All family members are mandated to change their attitudes in the process of solving problems.

Relatives and religious leaders may act as effective mediators when families are experiencing difficult problems.
