The Silent Generation: Are Parents Failing to Communicate with Their Children?

In a society increasingly focused on perfection, a growing number of parents are failing to communicate effectively with their children, particularly those with developmental differences. This trend, highlighted in a recent viral video by TikToker @beaningzoey, raises concerns about the emotional well-being of children and the societal implications of neglecting open communication. The creator, who identifies as zoey!, shares her own experience growing up in a family where open communication was prioritized. "My parents talked to me like an adult," she states, contrasting this with the alarming trend of parents who avoid difficult conversations. The video also touches upon the controversial topic of eugenics and the pressure to have 'perfect' children, suggesting that this pressure may contribute to the communication breakdown. Experts warn that a lack of communication can have serious consequences for a child's development, leading to emotional distress and social difficulties. The video serves as a stark reminder of the importance of open dialogue and the need for parents to engage fully with their children, regardless of their challenges.
