Establishing and maintaining healthy relationships between parents and children is important and challenging at any age. However, the parent/adult child relationship has a strong effect on the happiness of both parents and children and provides an enduring social tie between the family unit. It is important that the generations work together to make the relationship satisfying rather than strained.
Communicate. Listen to and try to understand the interests of the other person. Parents can try to learn more about what their children are interested in so that conversations at dinner and while watching TV will build relations and not cause disagreements.
Respect one another. Children-don’t tease and taunt your parents. Parents-don’t nag your children.
Relationships between children and their parents continue throughout life and building and maintaining healthy intergenerational relationships can give families knowledge, respect, and appreciation for one another.
