RELATIONSHIPS HOTLINE: Family Issues


Misunderstanding Between Parents and Children
Dasha Pavlova, 10c

  We all had a situation when in our teenage “difficult” years we quarreled with our parents because of misunderstanding. We want to wear jeans, and mom says to wear a dress because you're a girl or we are listening to music that dad doesn't like, instead of getting ready to go to college. A teen girl wants to become an actress in the future, and her mother says that she should go to the engineering department. Quarrels occur because of everything: friends, hobbies, mess in the room, poor grades, clothes ... But how can we avoid misunderstanding between children and parents?

  Let’s start with tips for parents. First, be extremely honest with your child. Show interest in everything that children do, ask how they spent the day. Also, spend more time with your child. Show children a good example of their habits. Remember, a teenager is an insecure person who cannot figure out many things by himself, help them him figure them out for their own.

  Now tips for children, be honest with your parents, your parents were also teenagers and they understand you. Secondly, your parents are not enemies, they love you and worry, share your feelings and deeds with them.

  In my family there is mutual understanding with my parents and I do not have a bad relationship with them. We are honest and respect the interests of everyone.
