Why is it that Family Members (parents and children) frequently misunderstand each other?

There have been cases of misunderstanding amongst the relationships of the members of the family. Children and teenagers are often disgusted with the parenting styles of their parents, claiming that there is something wrong with them. Parents, in the other hand, always worry about the daily circumstances involving their children. So, therefore they get anxious because they look for things that will worry them. In short, they focus on anxiety.



Children often lie to the parents because they are scared of the consequences. They want to feel free and to explore their limitations and potentials in all aspects of development.



So, I ask now,

1) Why can't they hold a meeting where most issues will be discussed and be resolved?

2) Why are the children often insecure?

3) Why can't they go to family therapy, if they can't resolve issues? Are financial deficits a problem?

4) So, what makes the essence of misunderstanding in the family relations? Why is it that family members frequently misunderstand each other?

5) How would make a typical family member be understanding to each other?



Lastly, What would you do if you are the parent in the family?



I truly believe that the "problems of the society are the problems of the family"



I know there are so many factors regarding this. But I would rather focus on the genetic and environmental factors.



I hope you can answer these questions. Thank You. :)Why is it that Family Members (parents and children) frequently misunderstand each other?I think you've answered your own question, but I will give you my thoughts. Parents want the best for their children and they have the maturity to make sensible decisions, but they don't understand all the issues that children have to face. They understand some of them, having been children themselves. But situations change from generation to generation and there's a lot that they don't know, even though they often think they know everything.

Children also think they know everything. They certainly have a better undestanding of what it is to be a child at this time, but they don't see the big picture because they don't have enough life experience.

If both sides were to realise that they can learn from each other, then there would be better communication and better understanding.Why is it that Family Members (parents and children) frequently misunderstand each other?Ever heard about the famous "generation Gap" It realy exist !
