In the contemporary society, in spite of the increase of the public’s living standards, quite a few parents and children share tense relationship. For one thing, many parents are getting busier than ever before with no time to accompany the children. For another, some children concentrate more on electronic products with insufficient communication with parents.
In order to lead the relationship to a harmonious direction, a couple of measures can be taken. First, even if there are a host of stuffs for parents to engage to, they should spend regular time with the young to understand them more. For instance, they can set a family day at least once a week. Furthermore, the adolescents are well- advised to control the time on online games and videos; instead, they can spend more time talking with families to promote the understanding, which is likely to eliminate the generation gap.
Overall, it is high time that individuals started to cope with the relationship between parents and children. With more understanding and tolerance, the two can get along in a more harmonious way.
