Generation gap is generally seen in the family between parents and their children. It is not only
because of the gap in age, but also because of the way parents react to a particular situation.
Children being very young and immature do not understand the way of thinking of their parents.
In many cases, the parents, even if they are matured, do not empathize with the changing values
and thinking pattern of the modern world. This creates a communication gap between these two
generations.
Generation gap between parents and children is mostly caused by parents themselves. They do
not talk openly to their children and do not take part in solving their problems. This behaviour
gives the impression about parents being authoritative persons, because they only dictate
without understanding the problems faced by their children. As a result, the children become
mentally isolated from their parents. Some parents become so busy with their work that they
don’t spend quality time with their family, which makes them completely unaware of how their
children are growing, what kind of mentality is being developed in them, and so on. This
ultimately creates a gap between them. They only realize it when it is too late.
Changes in technology have led to the generation gap in this modern world. Children tend to
spend most of their time with their digital devices and are so busy with social media, that they
do not discuss their problems with their parents. The internet provides solutions to most of the
worldly problems. So children, instead of contacting their own parents, seek the help of internet
in case of any problem, thus again reducing the communication, leading to a generation gap
between them.
The generation gap has greatly increased these days because the time is changing fast and
people find it difficult to cope up with this change. To overcome this problem, parents should
show interest in all matters of their children and deal with them positively instead of just
scolding them and leaving them alone to deal with their problems. Giving time to the children,
having open communication, and allowing the child to feel free and not in any kind of pressure,
will eventually reduce the generation gap to a tolerable extent.
