Young Adults Vs Parents - How To Bridge This Generation Gap?
Dolly Manghat participated in an open discussion at a university, on the conflicts between young adults and their parents. The age-old problem is where parents say that their children are unapproachable/ungrateful/rude and the youngsters say that the parents are over-demanding/restrictive and don’t understand. Obviously, this is a problem that troubles both sides and needs fixing.
But first, let’s review some basic facts:
Parents choose to bring children into this world, whereas, children don’t.
We all are shaped by our families, parents, and children alike.
Ultimately, we are all alone in our lived experiences on this earth.
A strong emotional tie exists between parents and children.
The problem calls for a longer meditation on how we live our lives, why, and what impact this has on our loved ones. This will give important clues to the past, so we can understand each other better. As it’s impossible to fix the past, all we can do is fix the present, in the hope that the future looks healthy.
With time, the courage to have an open dialogue, and an empathetic mindset, most relationships can be fixed and even become stronger.
