Peace
in Parent-Child Land?
Some wars never come to an
end; they tend to spill on over to the next generations. Rarely do we find a
home where parents and children aren't at loggerheads. They both find
themselves in a position where they end up saying: No one understands me! .And
as strenuous it might be sooner or later ? they do find a resolution for
their conflicts. So, for a deeper understanding of this subject, we conducted a
poll with 2,587 respondents, asking them whether they think parent-child differences
are normal or do they need to be addressed differently 49.36% of the
respondents say this is an everyday situation and everyone goes through it,
while 33.71% feel such conflicts aren?t usual and parents should have an open
dialogue with their children. 6.65% of the respondents believe that parents and
children hardly have any conflicts and, thus, this isn?t an issue to be worried
about. 7.11% say 'kids will be kids', and parents shouldn't worry about them. Lastly,
a small group of respondents, comprising of 3.17% of the people, don't know
much about this issue. And with such dividing views, it seems the conflict of
whether parent-children conflicts are normal or not can't be settled itself.
