(English) My Opinion on Patient-child Relationship

---

Tina Zheng

This generation needs parenting ways different from the past. As each generation
becomes more and more different compared to the last, the ways of raising a child should change too. One thing I believe
should change is the relationship between
the child and parent. I believe that if the relationship of the child and the parent is similar to the relationship of two friends then happiness will be established.
Parents need to try to respect their child’s opinion and thoughts. They need to communicate with their child in an equal manner; they shouldn’t only pick out flaws. If parents see that the tone they are using is too harsh then they should open their mind to new ideas on how to treat the situation. They need to try approaching their child by regarding them as friends.
Children that are treated as if they are an adult will not fret when a problem occurs.
The child will find ways to approach problems in a mature fashion. However, if parents picked at every flaw and made cruel
remarks at the child’s every choice the child will then feel underestimated. The child might be unbalanced at heart and the child might be unwilling to tell the parents his/ her problems. The child might then then have a tendency to keep problems to themselves and will not find it necessary to share problems with others.
It’s hard to maintain a happy relationship
at all times; however, there are ways to make it easier to achieve. Parents and children should learn to see eye to eye and at different points of view. Parents might find that the child’s thoughts are useless and children might also find their parent’s actions and rules to be unnecessary and distasteful, but seeing things from different
angles will help a healthy relationship build.
It’s difficult for parents to change their ways since they learned from their parents;
however opening to new ideas will benefit the family and make it stronger.
I agree that there should be rules but also room for self-discovery and self-discipline.
It’s hard to run a perfect family and it may be scary for parents to be sure that their every move is a correct one, but children
should not be ignored nor should they be neglected. They need to be nurtured and loved, and they need to understand that their parents are there to protect them and help them become someone they will be proud of.
