CHALLENGES IN IMPROVING PARENT-CHILD RELATIONSHIPS

Relationships are always the hardest goals to work on, because they involve another party. This
adds a whole new dynamics, compared to goals like earning a certain income or losing weight,
which are more static and linear. Especially parent-child relationships – they are even more

hallenging due to the following reasons:

c

1.
Unlike other relationships where you start from a clean slate, with parent-child relationships, you
have a burden of past events built up from young. This weighs down the relationship. Rather than
work toward the vision, sometimes you may need to work through the past occurrences first, which

akes the goal bigger than it already is.

2.

What is your ideal for your relationship with your parents? For them to be stronger mentor figures?
To be more open in communication? To be more emotionally expressive? To be good friends with
each other? Whatever it is, they may not share the same ideal. If that’s the case, if expectations are

lready different at the on-start, conflict is inevitable.

3.
Being brought up in different times can create deep-seated implications, from differences in
communication style, mindset, world views, philosophy on life, way of expressing love, and so on.
With my parents, this difference created a very deep chasm that made it nearly impossible for us to

ommunicate.

4.
Your parents may have personalities which make it impossible for you to relate to. With my mom,
she can be very stubborn, opinionated, and difficult. With my dad, he’s very quiet and inexpressive.
Our personalities don’t gel at all, and this made it very difficult for me when I was trying to work
through the relationship at the beginning.
