Parenthood: Why Parents Don’t Take Responsibility For Disruptive Arguments and The Way Forward

Parents and kids’ relationships are vital, it is connection that spike confidence, high self-esteem, and mental readiness for growth. Every time, there are disruptive arguments between a teenage child and his parents, and they fail to reconnect, the vacuum can only lead to lost of connection thereby creating room, for lost of confidence between the pair. When they nurture that feeling over time, they will completely feel isolated and won’t bother mending the parents and kids’ relationship.

For many parents, they are always the judge as opposed to adviser. Such behaviour creates a distance between parents and kids, in as much as they are at a particular stage in life, where mistakes will be expected and even repetitive, they deserved to be heard, with parents always at the right side as claimed, kids will find it difficult to know when they are in the right direction.

The way forward is what comes next after the whole flair of emotions and yelling. For some parents, it is difficult for them to say “I’m sorry” and it is sending the wrong signal to their kid brain, if they continue to harbour the thoughts of being the superior in this context, it will further dent their relationship with their kids, there is always room for reconnection that’s the aspect of human nature, when the emotions settle there can always be a round table discussion, where everyone will be heard, which will spark reconnection and take the relationship to a new level, that’s as parents how you get the wrong idea out of your kids head.
