Parental Hopes and Personal Ideals

All parents hope their children will have a bright future. However, parents’ expectations for their children are not always [1]in accordance with their children’s personal ideals, [2]and sometimes they are even conflicting with each other. This is often a main cause for quarrels and gaps between parents and children. [3]But what lead to the conflict between parental hopes and personal ideals?

[3]The following three factors contribute to the conflict. [4]First of all, in this fast-changing society, parents and children have too many differences in mind. [4]Secondly, traditional patriarchy is still influencing Chinese parents in modern society. They are used to making decisions for their children. [4]Third, nowadays young people have strong independence, [5]who want to plan their own future and control their own destiny. [4]Thus the conflict between parents and children inevitably appear.

[6]In order to solve the conflict, both parents and children should pay their efforts. [4]For one thing, parents should give their children rights to make their own decisions. They may help their children make choices [7]instead of replacing them to make choices. [4]For another, children should learn to respect their parents’ advices [8]since parents tend to have more life experience. [4]Besides, to communicate with each other actively is necessary to their understanding each other. As long as both parents and children learn to think [9]from the other side’s point of view, the conflicts between them can be avoided.
