There are NO solutions to the "generation gap".
The best thing to do is to try to BRIDGE the "generation gap".
In many ways as a teenager myself, its hard to identify with my parents.
I see the world with a different perspective on EVERYTHING, from what is acceptable to wear, to how long I should be allowed to watch TV,or how much time I should surf the net, or if I am allowed to have a Myspace.
Here's some ideas that my family came up with that makes life easier, and helps to bridge the notorious "generation gap"!
# Instead of unplugging the TV or computer or grounding us from our cell phones, try being smarter than us... as teenagers we are VERY good with technology, so go in the garage and flip the switch that turns the electricity off to the whole house. That way your child won't be mad at YOU for unplugging the TV or computer. It may be a sacrifice to you, for missing an important phone call or email. But if spending time with your child means enough to do that then try it! # Instead of saying that there is NO WAY you are taking your child to that "R" rated movie, simply try to compromise, and tell them that YOU will pay for a night out with their friends to see a more appropriate film.
# NEVER insist on going WITH your teenager to a movie or other social gathering with them and their friends. It's not that we're embarrassed about "being seen with you" as much as we may want you to believe that. The reason is that we feel that you don't trust us. Please don't make that mistake. We may retaliate in anger, but its just that as "tough" as we try to be, we are just trying to mask the pain. Simply tell your child that you trust them enough to make the right decisions. It will blow them away.
The generation gap
The generation gap is a very common social phenomenon,which is the diffence and misunderstanding between generations.
Why is there a gap between generations?First of all,the elder and the younger grow up in different periods and socienties. They have formed different values .So they they can't understand each other .Second ,even for the same person ,his ideas will change with age .if the elder and the younger cling to their own ideas,conflicts appear.
how can we solve this problem .I think that the most important is to forbear and understand each other .The different generations should respect each other and try to understand each other through communication.if we can do so ,the generation gap will be narrowed or even disappear.
Easy! You simply listen to the music your kids listen to and learn about their generation. You can also teach them about your generation.
it is vise versa for the kids
This is an area of study in sociology, so there is not simply answer. I suggest you try reading "Generation Gap, a Sociological Study of Inter-generational Conflicts" by Ramaa Prasad.
for resolving generation gap, parents and children need to have real communication at home
no solution... if there is a solution , it won't be a problem...
Generation gap can lead to misunderstandings, miscommunication, and lack of respect between different age groups. It can create barriers to effective collaboration and hinder the sharing of knowledge and experiences. Additionally, it may result in conflicts and differing values or perspectives on various social issues.
