Good Communication Is the Best Policy

The relationship between parents and children is an eternal and universal topic for the mankind. Our relationship with parents might be different at different ages. And for young people at their 20s, I think it will more depend on what children do.

The reason why I say so is that as we grow up, our parents who were our idols before gradually get old and even out-dated. However hard efforts they make, they could not catch up with our steps, leading to the so-called invisible generation gap between us. Thus, if we cannot slow down our pace, there will definitely be an awkward silence between parents and us, which is not rare now. As a result, we young people should talk more with parents to share our feelings and to know each other better.

Everyone wants loving parents who are open and supportive. Only through frequent communication with each other can we establish such a harmonious relationship with our parents.
