It is seen that there is a steep rise of argument and conflicts in almost every household during pandemic. What are the reason and what can be done to avoid or minimize family tention.
In my personal opinion, one of the reasons is being present for long periods of time at home, due to the less in business hours that led to financial crises and severe shortages in fulfilling family needs.

Avoiding stress isn't difficult.
Analyze your condition and change your attitude to the situation. There is no need to ask the questions “why is my child so naughty?”, “Why is my husband so bad?”, “Why doesn't my mother understand me?”. There will always be a reason, because without it, you would not have experiences. It is important to understand for what purpose you are experiencing, conflicting. Will tears, resentment, and anger help solve the problem? What can I do to get the result?
Analyze behavior. It is necessary not only to remain calm, but also to establish communication. For example, reduce tone, gestures, relieve tension. The wording of what has been said is also important. It is necessary to communicate not through complaints, but through the "me-message". That is, talking about yourself. For example, "I would be very pleased if you removed the toys", "I feel uncomfortable when I am not heard."
Not to get away from the conflict, but to solve it. Learn to negotiate with a partner and a child. Think about how the two of us / three / five of us can solve the situation. It is important to support each other and treat the other family member with understanding. And in no case recall old grievances. I think now is the best time for such a conversation.
In general, quarantine is a great time to spend time together. Do things together that you never had time for. Watch a family movie with your children, discuss a book, cook a delicious dinner, dream, make plans for the future. It is important not to immediately take on everything that you hear from your loved ones. Try it on. And if it's not yours, return it back. And if yours, think about what you are doing wrong and thank you for the feedback.

Dear Professor,
Thank you for the topic of discussion.
The main reason for the increase of stress, conflicts and tension in the family during this pandemic, is an uncertainty involved with these times. None of us know what is going to happen tomorrow. Nothing is in our control. Thus, there is an insecurity, an irritation.
Most of us are so involved with our professional commitments that we have forgotten that there is a life beyond this. We forgot about our hobbies, exercising, playing sports etc. Even when we (humans) have been reduced to the level of "domestic creatures" (we are spending most part of our day at homes), we can practice a few hobbies to create a life beyond our professions. That can minimize family tension.
Best regards,
Anamitra.
There r many reasons as dr.Anamitra declared like uncertainity,uncontrol situations,insecurity&irritation so it’s important to understand why u r conflicting&solve the problem.
In my personal opinion, one of the reasons is being present for long periods of time at home, due to the less in business hours that led to financial crises and severe shortages in fulfilling family needs.

The further "forced cohabitation" exacerbates the problems existing in a family unit, as well as in any cohabitation.
It all depends on the more or less reasonableness of family members / cohabitants (covid or non-covid).
