Generation gap

Generation gap considered when there is a significant gap of time in their birth of two individuals. Generation gap means difference in attitudes or lack of understanding between younger and older generation .Generation gap has always been their since the dawn of civilisation. Today everybody like to live in their own way ,this attitudes widens the gap.
Everyday we heard of aged people out on the streets neglected in the old age homes or committing suicide. The generation gap is not only about the true age difference between parents and children.

It is much more related to the different behavior between them. Some consider the cause of it is growing influence of western culture which is based on materialism and completely devoid of family feelings,but the truth is that young generation do mistakes but that does not mean to blame them for everything ,rather then helping out we seem to condemn them instead . No two generation are alike in their preferences and perception .If the younger one is aggressive and assertive ,the elder one need to be polite .Blaming the new generation for everything that has gone wrong in the society is like “showing red flag to a bull” .
A century ago,Most of the children works with their parents in farms and help them in home and work related activities ,about two decades ago , most of the children spent their time at school and finished school related work the rest of the time they spent with their parents helping them and enjoyed their company ,but now everything is changed as competition rises in every field everybody is becoming career-oriented whether they are children or parents .

Children doesn’t. have time to do household works as they are facing stress ,pressure due to competition in the modern world ,so rather than giving them their love ,affection ,they used to blame them for everything, this makes them noisy and leads to aggressive feelings towards their parents . This lacks of understanding of social and moral ,political or religious leads to family dissolution.
There are few pointers for parents which can help to bridge this ever widening gap:
# when the parents communicate peacefully to their children ,this makes the children to think that their parents are concern for them and trying to understand according to their point of view .
# When parents openly share their ideas with their children and when they accept that as time changes they have to change and learn more . This would help to reduce the generation gap.
Few points for children as they should follow:
# Try listening to them ,treat them like a valuable friend instead of always arguing like ” you don’t understand me ” stop and think .Do you ever try to understand them ,parents are under a lot of stress too ,they are also living in same world and probably they are facing the same problem too.

Parents wants that their children to follow their instruction but the children when they grow up wants complete freedom in their thoughts and actions. Unfortunately their thoughts and actions are just opposite to those expected by their parents.
Thus the time came ,they both have to maintain a balance among each other .Family outings ,vacations ,parent’s love , children’s respect and concern towards. each other leads to harmony in the family and thus reduce the generation gap.
