Vickyyy+FollowWhat we call a "generation gap" might just be misunderstood love.The so-called "generation gap" is often a misunderstanding of love. It's when children can't sense their parents' good intentions, and parents fail to grasp their kids' true feelings. It's that moment when "no matter what I do, you disapprove; no matter what I say, you don't want to hear." It's also when children have countless worries but can't share them with parents who seem ready to judge. In truth, the generation gap doesn't exist naturally—it's born from too many unspoken words. Parents often overestimate their importance to their children while underestimating the pressures and pain kids endure. Meanwhile, kids overestimate their parents' ability to restrict them and underestimate how much their parents care. Ultimately, the generation gap is just love that hasn't been fully understood yet. #FamilyLove #GenerationGap #Understanding #ParentChildRelationship #UnspokenWords100Share
