Generation Gap
Nowadays, there is often a lack of understanding between parents and children. Children always complain that their parents are out of date, while parents can’t approve of what their children say and do. Thus, a big generation gap is formed.
The gap remains wide for many reasons. Children want to be free to choose their own friends, select their own classes in school, plan their own future, earn and spend their own money, and generally run their own life in a more independent way than many parents allow. Also, young children wish to be understood by their parents, but most parents don’t quite understand their children. They regard it as their responsibility to teach their offspring traditional beliefs. They want them to be obedient and do well in school. Therefore, misunderstanding often arise from parents’ tendency to interfere in children’s daily activities.
In my opinion, most problems between parents and children could be solved by joint efforts of both sides to enhance mutual understanding.
代沟如今，父母和孩子之间经常缺乏理解。孩子们总是抱怨他们的父母不在了，而父母却不同意他们的孩子说的话。因此，形成了一个大的代沟。
差距仍然很大，原因有很多。孩子们想自由地选择自己的朋友，在学校里选择自己的班级，规划自己的未来，赚和花自己的钱，一般以一种比许多父母更独立的方式来运行自己的生活。此外，年幼的孩子希望得到他们的父母的理解，但大多数父母不太了解他们的孩子。他们认为这是他们的责任来教他们的后代传统的信仰。他们希望他们听话，在学校里做得很好。因此，误解往往来自父母的倾向，干扰儿童的日常活动。
在我看来，父母和孩子之间的大多数问题都可以通过双方的共同努力来增进相互了解。
