GENERATION GAP
Parent-Child Relationships❤
Parent-Child Relationships❤
Students—whether poor or
middle class—who go to schools where the majority are middle class have much
better outcomes. They score better on tests, graduate high school and complete
college at higher rates, and have more successful careers. Researchers find
that this is not only because of the direct involvement of middle-class parents
who, for example, make sure teachers are good and schools have adequate
resources, but also because middle-class kids have positive attitudes toward
achievement and engage in productive behaviors such as regularly attending
class and doing homework. And in middle-class schools, these attitudes and
behaviors dominate and help them later in life..
Parent-Child Relationship is one that nurtures
the physical, emotional and social development of the child. It is a unique
bond that every child and parent will can enjoy and nurture. This relationship
lays the foundation for the child’s personality, life choices and overall
behavior. It can also affect the strength of their social, physical, mental and
emotional health.
The parents want to develop a strong bond with
their child but they also want to maintain a healthy marital relationship and
adult friendships. The major cause of problems in relationship between parents
and children is the generation gap. Nowadays, parents try to force the children
into disciplined life. For instance, they ask the children to shut their mouth
when they are expressing the views about some family issue while trying to
manipulate their decisions.
Due to this children
don’t open up to their parents and this leads them to be suspicious of their
children. When parents are in the pursuit to discover exactly what is going on,
the children tend to lose trust in their parents, feeling that their parents
are always trying to catch them doing something wrong. Parents, on the other
hand, are more experienced in dealing with life’s problems. They try to protect
their children from the problems they had to face when they were young. They
try different means to do this and these means have a great impact on the
parent child relationship.
On of
the major issue evolved, both parents and their children do not see things from
each other stand points. thus, the generation gap ,lack of communication on
real issues but can be answered by taking small steps in life;
1. the way that children thinks is totally different
from how parents do, so by keeping an open mind and letting your child having
his own journey and not assuming that they must be like you
2. Children also need to know that they can approach
their parents with anything, ultimately it will give parents peace and they do
not worry about their children hiding things.
3. The unconditional love which children get from
parents encourages them ,makes children more inclined to show that same love
and respect
4. Parents also try to understand them and listen to
what they have to say. it makes them feel that their thoughts and feel matters
to you. it will not only make them feel good but they will return to you in
return and it will help to close that generation gap.
Sometimes, it
will be safe to say that children place their parents on a pedestal that if they
so much as commit a blunder, the child would not refrain from criticizing them
believing that they should be nothing but perfect. children forgot that they
are humans not some perfect guardian angel
Well some
gifts cannot be taught, only lived .if you only blame your parents or child for
their mistakes you are repeating their mistakes .because of repressed emotions
that children subconscious mind records in their growing up years, perhaps it’s
just because they are your family. You are more real and open to them and never
try to understand from each other point of view.
Someone has rightly said ;
“you become an adult the day you forgive your
parents for loving you the way they could rather than the way you wanted them
to”.❤
