Some people believe that parents and children automatically form a close bond that helps them always find common ground.
But this is not entirely correct.
Little children really do reach out to their parents and literally catch every word. But with older children, certain difficulties in communication may arise.
Why it is not always possible to find a common language with children
You accidentally pushed them away
Sometimes it is difficult for adults to assess the importance of a topic for a child, so they do not approach the conversation with due attention.
This may offend children.
The child thinks that adults are not interested in his problems and experiences. Therefore, try to be more attentive to children.
Parents impose their point of view
Adults can be understood: they really understand life better, so they try to show the child the right path from their point of view.
However, with this approach, children only see that their opinion does not matter. Therefore, over time, they distance themselves from their parents, experts believe.
Adolescence
Sometimes puberty can be very difficult. Many families lose mutual understanding. It is extremely important for parents to "make allowances" for their child, knowing about age-related features.
Sometimes reading specialized literature on adolescent psychology helps. Sometimes you can seek advice from specialists who will help restore mutual understanding in the family.
