Personal Addition: Generation Gap

Nowadays，the problem of generation gap becomes more and more serious. Based on the survey by our school, the poor relationship between parents and their children is very common. Are these problems caused by the busy parents? Or, do the harsh family rules affect their relationship?

Firstly, in most of the families in the US, both of the parents have to go out for work in order to earn more money to proveide better environment for their lovely children. Unfortunately, this causes the rare communication between them and their children, since these parents always take rest during leisure time. These parents and children cannot know deeply about each other, then friction is easy to appear. Therefore, a wid e generation gap comes into being.

Secondly, parents who ask their children to be absolute obedient to them is also one of the grave causes of generation gap between them. Therefore, these children are not willing to communicate with their parents and most of these parents are not active to talk with their children. Thus, misunderstanding between them often occurs.
To solve these problems, the busy parents should sacrifice their spare time to communicate with their children actively so as to improve their relationship. At the same time, they can also observe their children’s behavior in order to understand their children’ personality and reduce the quarrel betweeen them.

Besides that, the parents should try to give up their absolute power in family to give a better image to their children since it can make their children feel free to chat with their parents. Then it is easy for the parents to approach their lovely children. Therefore, a close and harmonious relationship between parents and children appears.

In conclusion, to have a close relationship between parents and children, the parents should devote their leisure time to talking with their children and observing their childern’s personality and give their children the approaching images. If so, this terrible phenomenon, generation gap, cannot occur any more.
