GenZ once doubted their parents, now understands them. A powerful parenting shift | Kanwal Abbasi

Описание: This podcast presents an honest and thought-provoking conversation from a Gen Z perspective on parenting and personal growth. The guest reflects on how the person she is today has been shaped by her parents’ life experiences and guidance. However, she openly shares that during her middle teenage years, she viewed her parents very differently. At that stage, she believed she was right and her parents were wrong, interpreting their strictness as control rather than care.
She discusses a critical reality of parenting where, at times, parents unconsciously seek external validation from society. In doing so, they may impose pressure on their children to appear “well-raised” in the eyes of others. The conversation highlights how parents often fail to recognize their child’s unique individuality, leading to constant comparisons with other children. Since many parents themselves were raised in comparison-driven environments, this cycle continues across generations.
From the Gen Z viewpoint, this generation aims to break that cycle. The discussion also explores how involving children in decision-making makes them feel honored and valued, building confidence, while simultaneously creating a sense of responsibility and pressure to give the “right” advice. This podcast is a healthy, insightful dialogue for parents and young adults seeking deeper understanding and emotional awareness.
