When Your Parents Don’t Understand You (Part-2)

 Hi There!

Have you ever wondered why parents behave that way?

Sometimes, parents think: We gave birth to our children, so we have every right to control their lives.
They often believe that because they love us, whatever they say or do is always right. They believe, We’d never wish anything bad for our child.

I’ve heard many people say things like:
Parents are always right,
They know better,
You’re just too young to understand.

Yes, if you’re lucky enough to have understanding parents, that’s a blessing.
But that doesn’t mean every child has the same experience.
Sometimes, the very place where a child should feel safest home, family, becomes the place where they feel the most fear, discomfort, or sadness.

To Parents

The reason I’m writing this is not to point fingers.
I simply don’t want to see children hating their parents or parents hating their children.
This is one of the worst feelings in the world for both.

Not every child is meant to be a doctor or an engineer.
Some are meant to be artists, athletes, teachers, travellers, or something completely different.
Grades do not define a child’s worth.

Think about it this way: At least you have a child. Ask those who don’t. Ask them what they pray to God for money, respect, success?
No. Many will say they would give anything just to have a child.

Just ask yourself once:
Would I rather have a perfect report card or a healthy, loving bond with my child?

So please respect your child, encourage their dreams.
Be their guide not their cage.

What You Can Do

If you feel misunderstood by your parents, try to handle it with care.
Here are a few things that might help:

• Stay calm. Don’t react with anger, no matter how frustrated you feel.
• Avoid making big decisions in moments of pain. Think before you act.
• Talk to them when they’re calm and in a listening mood. Timing can change everything.
• Focus on your growth. Even if they don’t support your dreams right now, believe in yourself.
• Accept this hard truth: They may never fully understand you and that’s okay.

Final Thought

If you lose money, you can earn it back.
If you lose status, you can rebuild it.
But if you lose the bond with your child, rebuilding it is not so easy.

A child is not just someone you raise, they are someone you shape.
Shape them with love, not fear. With support, not pressure.
And most importantly listen. Really listen.

“Behind every misunderstood child is a voice that was never truly heard.”

Let that voice be heard.
Let love win.
