Parenting Pointers: Generational Values and Communication

The holidays are a joyous time, the only weeks out of the year where most of us are able to spend time with extended family and out-of-town relatives. Though this is a cause of celebration, it can also be a time of tension. There are plenty of infamous stories out there about family members getting into fights over Christmas dinner or Grandma being offended by her granddaughter’s new piercing! In order to keep things civil this year and avoid any awkward conversations, it’s important to understand where your relatives are coming from. Traditionalists who lived through the Great Depression are going to have a different perspective on things than phone-addicted Gen Z’ers. Take a look at the guide from TurboTenant below to learn about the unique values and communication styles of each generation, along with tips for communicating well this holiday season and beyond.
