Struggle to be an all American girl!


  1. Why is it hard for children in any culture to relate to their parents’ ideas about what’s best for them?
  2. Do students typically feel a “disconnect” with their parents’ backgrounds or cultural traditions?
  3. What might help students be open to learning from their parents’ experiences?

It is definitely hard for children to relate to parents ideas in many circumstances.  Parents pass down how they were raised but society changes usually an individuals customs stay the same.  Children think they are smart and know everything but honestly, they don't.  Parents want their children raised a specific way.
I think students do feel a disconnect from parents background and culture, especially if your parents are of different cultures.  It's hard to balance both into a child's life.  If I'm German and don live in Germany, it's hard to bring the German culture to your life.
Students would probably love to learn about their parents and how hey grew up because its definitely different than how we grow up today.  At the same time, parents can't force their children to learn because it will make them care less about their parents life's.
