Abstract
Family dynamics are the patterns of relating or interacting between family members. Each family system and its dynamics are unique, although there are some common patterns. All families have some helpful and unhelpful dynamics. Family dynamics include family alignments, hierarchies, roles, ascribed characteristics and patterns of interaction within the family. Family cannot interact properly without peace in the family. Peace building applies to a situation of low conflict and this is why one cannot separate family dynamics from peace building. Peace is important for the survival of the family as a system. Peace generally is absence of war, fear, conflict, anxiety, suffering, and violence and about peaceful co-existence. Peace building in the family dynamics is primarily concerned with creating and maintaining a just order in the family and resolution of conflict by non violent means.
