Publisher's Summary

Pandemic Family Communication Manual is your mental health playbook to handle family chaos and poor communication during the COVID-19 pandemic. You can get answers on how to handle this new phenomenon called Family Congestion Effect (FCE). FCE originated by accident and is now threatening to become a way of life for four to six months. 

The manual provides you with immediate relevant skills on how to control family anger, disorganization, and resentment. Concrete steps provide ways for you and your partner to communicate effectively, or to repair holes in your communication style. Most importantly, Pandemic Family Communication Manual is your vaccine against the most insidiously dangerous effects of FCE that of becoming depressed, anxious, and afraid. 

Two additional chapters guide you through easy, and simple-to-use steps to build structure, rebound from grudges or anger, be creative, compassionate, and affectionate, and use prudence in managing your family. While this manual may not answer every question you have, especially how long this pandemic will last, it does answer the most prevailing question inside your thoughts such as, "How will we survive being a hostage in our house?"
