Effects of good parent-child relationship

A cordial relationship between parents and their children, as seen in the case of the young man and his mother, goes a long way in shaping a child's future.

The Family Dynamics of Children on the Streets of Ibadan, Southwest Nigeria by Obimakinde, Abimbola M. and Moosa Shabir pointed out that poor family-child relationships are one of the reasons for the children-on-the-street pandemic. It said:

"The relationship pattern between children on the street and the parental figure included poor adaptability, poor growth support, economic partnership with parents, poor emotional connection and lack of family bonding time. The three thematic results were intertwined, with relationships reflecting family resources premised on the broken family structure of children on the street of Ibadan, Nigeria."

Bad relationships between parents and their children were further narrowed down to parents' financial incapacity and their love lives.

"We found that most mothers and their children lacked both social and financial support, particularly from poorly committed unwedded fathers. A hypothesis proclaimed unmarried fathers tend to downplay their fatherly roles and are less materially and emotionally involved with the family compared to married fathers."

Parents noted that a child's psychological development, future success, and good mental health are connected to the relationship such a child must have built with their parents.

Digital age: Expert explores reverse mentorship in families

Julius Omokhunu, a media and communications expert, has weighed in on the viral WhatsApp exchange between a young man and his mother. Speaking with Legit.ng, he noted how social media is reshaping parent-child relationships.

"The first way is by assessing how the power dynamic in the relationship between a parent and a child is evolving. In many households around the world, children are the digital natives to this technology while parents are digital immigrants," he said.

This shift, he said, has led to 'reverse mentorship', where children now guide their parents in using technology, altering the traditional structure of authority in households.

Omokhunu also noted how digital technology has introduced a more relaxed and humorous tone in parent-child conversations.
