April 24, 2013 7:22am CST
It’s obvious that most of the families in this generation suffer from generation gap. Have you experienced it before or still experiencing it now? Share your experiences and/or stories from how it started up to how you overcome. Mommy, daddy, brothers and sisters, are all part of the family. We should be together to work for the better. Give some tips and advice to work it out.

Generation gaps seemingly obvious for the technology knowledge. Many older generation are not familiar with the use of modern technologies. Also the older generation tend to have the more strict regulation of traditional culture. While the younger generation tend to freely adopt different modern culture.

The most important factor that any family should have is to always have an open line of communication. In doing this everyone gets the chance to speak and let others understand how each one feels about certain things.

I doubt if they exist, it all has to do with how modern/willing you are as a parent. My granny had a son as she was over 50 years old. Always hit radion on, very popular, she was also way more modern as my own mother! Also I don't have problems with my children or ever had. The eldest is 29 years old the youngest 7 years old, they don't see me as a granny or boring and never did.

We prayed together to guide our relationship in the right sense,we asked, Almighty to give us the grace to understand others more than us demanding to be understood.

I think the common problem of modern families is the difference of education and life style. Most of parents have low degree of education than their children, this condition trigger problem of communication between them. Parents often cannot understand the life style of their children, so they often cannot follow the life of their children, so they prefer to stay at their lonely than live with their children. I think, it is a good idea if children understand this condition and compromise with their parents.

The world is changing at faster pace and the distant between people is growing rapidly. People have been gaining individuality and wishing to lead a separate life rather than staying in nuclear families. Younger generation are not willing to the grand parents as their advises seems to be out of the world now and started taking them lightly. No matter how advanced you are, it's always good to take certain advises from the elders, at last, human values are above all.
