Many families often experience difficulties. Conflicts between parents and children are often inevitable, even in prosperous families. From the point of view of psychology, this is due to several reasons.
Disharmonious type of relationship
As in all others, harmony or disharmony can reign in family relationships. In the first case, a balance is observed in the family, which is manifested in the formation of the social roles of family members. The cell is viewed as a community in which each link is ready to make compromises in order to eliminate contradictions that have arisen.
In the second option, everything is completely different. The disharmonious type of relationship implies a constant conflict between husband and wife. This affects children, increasing their level of anxiety. The psychological stress in such a family is constant. Conflicts spread to the younger generation, becoming a systematic cause of discord between loved ones.
Destructive parenting
An inadequate type of upbringing that does not give a systematic development of the child's personality is called destructive. Due to disagreements on key issues, inconsistent or inconsistent upbringing, conflicts arise between parents and children. The child does not understand what is required of him. Condemnation and threats against children, restriction of their personal freedom, increased guardianship - all these are features of destructive upbringing.
Age crises
Age crises in children occur when they enter a transitional phase between different states. The child becomes irritable, takes out anger at others, is capricious. What he did unquestioningly before, now causes revolt in him. Such protests often cause conflicts between parents and children. The period of puberty is considered the most dangerous for family relationships.
Personality traits
If we talk about parents, then the reason for the conflict with children is often such personal characteristics as conservatism, the authoritarian principle of upbringing and bad habits. The latter has the most detrimental effect on the younger generation.
Children by their behavior cause a conflict situation if they have low academic performance at school, ignore the advice of their elders, and have a high level of egocentrism. Protection of their own interests prevails in adolescents over common sense. Therefore, they try to prove their point of view in any way.
Conflicts between children and parents need to be resolved in a timely manner, since otherwise close people may become distant from each other. A prolonged conflict leads to the destruction of family ties from the inside.
