'Both generations of parents were given feedback by me around how their behaviors are hurting their children, and this is how each generation chose to respond.'
Stephanie explains,"One thing I hope that is clear from this 'experiment' is that every person has a strategy for avoiding unwanted emotions, and these strategies have an impact on our relationships. No one is a bad person, parent, or partner because they avoid unwanted emotions . However, these strategies can be ineffective for building relationships, whether it's boomers avoiding accountability or millennials being on their phones.
It’s possible that boomers are under-resourced socially and emotionally when it comes to shame, and they’re getting stuck in it, which makes them more prone to close-mindedness and reactivity."She also points to differences between the generations in when we're willing to open up or seek support."I, of course, cannot know what it feels like to be a boomer parent and can only make observations from the ones I work with.
