What can be done to bridge the generation gap between parents and children?

We can define the generation gap as the lack of communication between the two
generations. This is because of the differences in tastes, habits, opinions, views, etc. There is a
lack of understanding which is known as the generation gap. It is a certain kind of psychological
gap that creates misunderstanding and lack of communication between the elders and the
younger generation.
The generation gap is mainly the result of the fast development of the society. In the last
century, 2 or 3 generations live in the same lifestyle as there was very slow development. But
today as the world is advancing things are getting outdated and the world is getting more and
more advanced. Most of the parents do not even know many of the modern gadgets and
equipment their children use.
1. SPEND MORE TIME TOGETHER

Irrespective of whether you enjoy your parents’ company or not, try spending more quality time
with them. You can go for a football match or whichever sport your dad is fond of or you could
join your mother for an evening walk. This will make you as well as your parents enjoy each
other’s company and it will help you in bridging the distance. What to teach your parents your
sports lingo? Well, there are many interesting sports activities that you can teach them about and
try together someday!

2. SHARE YOUR PROBLEMS

Tell your parents about anything that is creating a problem for you. They may scold
you at first but they will solve it and they will be at your side always.

3. RESPECTING THEM CAN HELP BRIDGE GENERATION GAP

We were always taught to respect our elders but somehow as we grow up we forget about this. 
Respect your parents you owe everything to them. They deserve respect more than anyone
around you. This will show them that you respect them no matter what the situation is, this will
increase their affection for you.
