(4)、 Concerning money or anything else,
conflicts between husband and wife usually reflect a power struggle. Conflicts
between parent and child often center around the same issue. As children enter
adolescence, they begin to demand greater freedom to go where they please, do
what they please, and make decisions without parental interference. Many
american parents do not know how to deal with their teenagers and seek advice
from books, lectures, and parent-training courses. Parents want to maintain a
friendly relationship with their teenagers and also want to guide them so that
their behavior will be whatever the parents consider proper and constructive.
But in a society of rapidly changing social and moral values, parents and
children often disagree about what is important and what is right. Arguments may
concern such unimportant matters as styles of dress or hairdos. But quarrels may
also concern school work, after school jobs, decisions, use of the family car,
dating, and sexual behavior. Some families have serious problems with teenagers
who drop out of school, run away from home, or use illegal drugs. Be cause so
much publicity is given to the problem teenager, one gets the impression that
all teenagers are trouble-makers. Actually, relatively few adolescents do
anything wrong, and nearly all grow up into "solid citizens" who fulfill most of
their parents' expectations. In fact, re cent studies show that the "generation
gap" is narrowing. The vast majority of teenagers share most of their parents'
values and ideas. Many parents feel that they ~et along with their adolescents
quite well.
