Both children and parents don't really stand from each other's perspectives. As a result, miscommunication
can cause the generational conflict. Here are a few solutions to the generation gap between parents and
children.
Maintain an open mind
Children think differently than their parents. Parents frequently believe that because they have been the age
their child is now, they understand how their youngsters think. Obviously, the world and our ways of life were
extremely different back then, and their mindset will be considerably different. This is why parents should
have an open mind and not assume their children are the same as parents were.
Express themselves
Spending time connecting with your children every day is critical. At the end of the day, just talking about
each other's days can help parents and children get to know each other and make it easier to speak freely
around one other.
Have a good listening skill
Parents must give their children uninterrupted time to speak and listen to what their children say. Learning
about children's views and opinions makes them feel as though they are also important. Listening leads to
understanding, which means parents must learn to put themselves in their children's shoes and attempt to
comprehend how they feel and what they want.

By 2050 the world's population is expected to reach 9.8 billion. Nearly 70 percent of this booming population
- 6.7 billion people - is projected to live in urban areas. To make cities the places worth living in, a planning
firm has given a vision of a city of the future, educated by lessons of the past and anticipating challenges of
the future. In a densely developed hub, sustainable land use within and outside its border helps people develop
by providing water, food and recreation. Roof gardens are common atop buildings to encourage small-scale
farming and provide shade and social areas. Low-rise buildings will replace high-rise buildings to allow more
light and air to reach the ground, promoting health and well-being. Renewable energy like solar power will be
more popularly used as solar panels incorporated into all surfaces of the buildings.
Infrastructure is designed for pedestrian access with limited roads for cars and more available pedestrian
space. Travelling in the city of the future is more affordable, safe, and convenient thanks to automated
technology and high-speed rail. Drones can even become large enough to transport people within the city. To
travel outbound, local rail, bus lines and high-speed trains capable of reaching 600 miles an hour can connect
a city with the surrounding regions. In diverse cities of the future, recreation, arts and entertainment can be
shared globally through virtual reality. Historical heritage is preserved in order to transmit the past
generations' understanding to future generations.
