Helping parents deal with conflicts at home

I have developed an interesting activity based on the Evapourating Cloud concept. This is a simple diagram for parents, when trying to communicate with their children, to present their perspective and their children's perspective. It allows both sides to understand what the other side is thinking and it allows both sides to understand each other's hidden assumptions. I plan to use this technique with managers in a training planned in June but the more I think about it, the more I can see it being used to diffuse conflict at home. Come to think about it, it can also be used to get husband and wife to better understand one another.
