Review

Sometimes it happens that parents and their children cannot find the common language . It is often called “generation gap”. There can be different reasons for it. Parents can be too strict , they can criticize their children’s friends, studies, behaviour . Very often, they want their children to do more housework . Parents can be too busy with their own work and problems and therefore ignore the needs and interests of their children. But on the other hand, the children can care only about their own life and be indifferent to their parents. Some of them want to get and not to give. They don’t feel responsible for at all. This situation often leads to family conflicts .
