relationship.
There are many things that contribute to a tense relationship between parents
and their children, but the two main ones are unclear expectations and poor
communication.

One of the main causes of stress in parent-child interactions is a communication

parents and children in addition to communication breakdown and competing
expectations. These elements include boundary issues, unresolved prior conflicts,
and outside stresses. To overcome these obstacles, one must have tolerance,
compassion, and a readiness to
