Having already gone through the process of career decision-making, parents help their children to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalcareercounsellor.com\/blog\/how-to-guide-students-towards-the-right-career-path\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">select the right career path<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. But sometimes, parents start behaving like influencers, not facilitators. They start taking control of making decisions for their child\u2019s career.\u00a0 Hence, children start thinking that their parents are interrupting their career decisions and are not letting them make a decision. This is how conflict starts building between them.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">It also happens when children do not understand their parents\u2019 conditions (majorly financial) and demand to opt for career options that are hard to afford for their parents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Whatever the reason, experiencing conflicts between parents and children is more common than you may think. As a career counsellor, you don\u2019t need to be worried about this situation. If handled properly, these conflicts don\u2019t turn into long-term problematic patterns. You need to listen to both parties, understand their requirements, and create a win-win situation for both sides.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_Causes_for_Conflict_Between_Parents_Children\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\">Common Causes for Conflict Between Parents &amp; Children<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18977\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18977\" style=\"width: 588px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalcareercounsellor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PS-Conflict.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18977 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalcareercounsellor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PS-Conflict.jpg\" alt=\"How to resolve conflict\" width=\"588\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.globalcareercounsellor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PS-Conflict.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.globalcareercounsellor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PS-Conflict-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18977\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 12px; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">studenthealth.gov.hk<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">The first step to resolve a parent-children conflict is to understand the problem. You cannot jump to a conclusion before analyzing an entire situation. These conflicts can happen due to parents or children or both.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Let us understand the reasons for conflicts between parents and children during career counselling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Parents Expectations: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parents usually have high academic and career expectations from their children. While some children can live up to these expectations, some can\u2019t. Suppose a child wants to opt for a field of study that he is interested in, but a parent has a totally different goal for him. A child wants to be a graphic designer; his parents want him to become a doctor. A child wants to choose Political Science; his parents want him to study Mathematics. This clash happens in the majority of cases.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">In many cases, parents don\u2019t understand their kid&#8217;s abilities &amp; interests and start forcing them to do what they like.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Lack of knowledge of new career options is also a major issue for parent-child conflict. The majority of parents are unaware of new career opportunities and their scope. When their children ask to choose a particular career path that is unknown to them, they refuse to agree. That leads to a conflict.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Children\u2019s Persistence: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, children ask to choose a career path that their parents can\u2019t afford (monetary ones). They want to go abroad for higher studies or want to opt for a course that is out of their parents\u2019 budget. This is the case of children&#8217;s persistence where they don\u2019t want to understand their parents&#8217; situation and ask for more.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Also Read:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalcareercounsellor.com\/blog\/the-new-education-policy-its-impact-how-to-prepare-your-students\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The New Education Policy &amp; Its Impact: How To Prepare Your Students<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Resolve_Conflict\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 24px;\">How to Resolve Conflict?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Differences of opinion are basic healthy conflicts between parents and children. As a career counsellor, you can easily handle them by following these tips:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Understand Both Sides<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to know how to resolve conflict between parents and children while counselling them, become neutral. Don\u2019t conclude anything before understanding the entire situation. Listen to both sides carefully. Encourage them to express how they feel about career decisions. Understand<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">W<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hat are their requirements?\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">What are children\u2019s interest areas?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">What do parents expect from their children? etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Allow them to express themselves. Don\u2019t counter their expression. Once both sides are done, use this interaction as an opportunity to help them, counsel them and make them understand each other\u2019s perspectives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Explain a career is More than a Financial Security<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the past, just having a job and being able to support oneself and one&#8217;s family was essential. People often used to choose the same profession as their father. A farmer&#8217;s son used to become a farmer. A doctor\u2019s son used to become a doctor. Very few people used to go for a different career choice.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">However, today, we have plenty of career choices. A career is no longer just a means of financial support; it has become a major part of one&#8217;s life. People go for a job that they love and enjoy doing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Let parents know about this. Make them understand that new career opportunities are secure and their children would earn and enjoy the job at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Communication is the Key<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a parent-child relationship reaches a point where neither parent nor child leaves the situation as a \u201cwinner\u201d, take a step back and reassess goals.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Communication is proven to be an effective therapy in helping parents and children to resolve their clashes. Make them talk to each other and express their thoughts. Figure out what\u2019s going on in their minds and develop healthier ways to choose a career path for their child.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Parents&#039; Choice vs. Children&#039;s Dreams | #changeyourlife\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XzEk2byq2W4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Find a Middle Ground<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding a middle ground is like partial satisfaction when both parties agree on a common point.

Whatever the reason, conflicts between parents and children are mainly due to subjective motives and are not fact-driven. I have seen usually career-choices-related conflicts between parents and children get resolved when they are asked to justify their preferences based on objective parameters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Ask them questions based on documentary evidence like future trends, past performance records and scientific information like Psychometric tests etc. It often proves to be an eye-opener and resolves conflict automatically.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><strong>Conclusion:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">A career counsellor should not only see situations from the perspective of both parties but also try to reveal parent\u2019s and child\u2019s perspectives to each other to dissolve the \u201cEgo Component\u201d. Then, individual sessions with parents and children followed by a joint session to work out objective components of career selection help to strike a healthy balance between monetary goals (parents&#8217; perspective)\u00a0 and passion for a career (children\u2019s perspective).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Explain to parents that every individual is responsible for his \/her own life and for the choices they make in their lives.
