Every one is facing this problem these days and it is very common and known to every family. This generation gap arises only within the family and it influences is limited to the family member only.
Young generation always have a difference of opinion on most of the subjects and they think what they do is always right. Similarly old generation also think on the same line.
Nowadays an individual life style has changed a lot; most of us want to be independent and live alone so that they can have privacy, which further widens generation gap.
there are some areas where the new and the old generation will never have the same opinion. it may be towards someone or some thing, towards values, towards living style or towards thinking etc.
Both generations are impact due to this generation gap. But the old generation are affected more as they are being avoided by the new generation. Going ahead the new generation will also face the same sequences.
The Reason Behind Generation Gap.
Both new and old generation are responsible for the generation gas. but new generation is more responsible for this widening gap.
Young generation is not having time for parents and grandparents.
Young generation want to stay alone for many reasons especially for leading an independent life.
Young generation after getting married want to have privacy and freedom for doing what they want to do.
We remember our first date with girlfriend, our marriage anniversary, our child's birthday; but most of us forget to wish parents on their birthday and marriage anniversary, either because we don't remember or we don't have time.
Can't we remember these occasions?
Can't we wish them on these occasions?
When sometime we fall ill or we get disturbed for any reason, or even when we meet with a very small accident, our parents leave all works and spent time with us. But if the same things happen with them, then either we give an excuse of not having time or will just call them to show our concern. We may support them with money but mostly will not attain them personally.
Can't we attend to them personally?
Can't we spend some quality time with them?
We receive call from our parents almost every alternative day inquiring how we are doing. But we call them occasionally or when ever we have some work, mostly we never call them without reason.
Can't we call them regularly to check how they are doing and if we can assist them with something?
How generation gaps can be reduced?
Directly or indirectly almost everyone is responsible for, this winding generation gap. If this continues to go on like this, then in the coming days relationships will lose its value and respect. So we have to take Immediate initiatives to curtail this gap otherwise we have to face the worst in the coming future.
If possible, we should try to stay with our parents. We can maintain independence and can have fun and enjoyment even while staying with parents. All it requires is just to change the mind set of both generations.
We should communicate with our parents on regular basis. We should not wait for any special occasion to speak to them.Proper and regular communication will help to reduce generation gaps.
We should try to spend quality time with parents. It may be over food, on weekend or on vacation where feelings and emotion for each other can be expressed.
Every parent understand what privacy is so we should not worry about it. Matured thinking is what is required to deals with these situation.
We should try to teach our parents about new things and new technology so that they can accept it.
There may be some points where some difference of opinion may arise but in such situation both should try to make adjustments with each other and move ahead.
Whenever we get an opportunity, we should try to express our concern, feeling, love and emotion for our parents. We should show them that we are always there for them.
Mistakes may happen, both should learn to forgive each other.
We should love and care everyone, we should have patience, we should learn how to control anger, we should learn how to live peacefully. life is all about learning and practicing good things, this reduces generation gaps.
