29. Suggestions
Parents must make an attempt to listen more
attentively to their teenage children and with a lot
of care and love.
Parents must give enough freedom to their
children specially to take some decisions. This
will help the teens to believe in themselves and
their capabilities more.
Teenagers should have confidence on their parents
and trust their parents that they do not wish to hurt
their children

30.  Teenagers should try their best to convince their
parents in a polite manner if it is a good reason.
 Teenagers should respect their parents and share
their life actions with their parents
 Spending quality time together on a daily basis can
make communication between them more effective
and easy.
Finally both should have faith on each other and
support each other when it is necessary and try to
understand each others opinion and then select a
good decision .

31. Conclusion
In the traditional Indian family communication
between parents and children tends to be one
sided. Children are expected to listen, respect
and obey their parents.
But, on the other hand Indian family has the
advantage of its heritage with its well defined
value system related to social relations and
prescriptions of the ideal way of life.
