Intercultural Child-Parent Relationships: We Do Therapy So Our Kids & Parents Don’t Have To (ft. Joy) from Good Things Happen

Intercultural Child-Parent Relationships: We Do Therapy So Our Kids & Parents Don’t Have To (ft. Joy)

1 hour 7 minutes Posted Jul 1, 2024 at 10:31 pm.

Intense family time with meltdowns and reflections

We never had a teenage rebellion

To keep constant contact, is it a tyranny?

Our cultural conflicts with parents as first-generation immigrants

With the intention of care comes the impact of judgments

Moms reject compliments as a coping mechanism

Feeling like a puppet in their master plan of conventional success

Oversensitive or genuinely traumatized?

Mom told me I was not pretty

Unconditional love, transactional affection

It's their first time being parents too

Show notes

As first-generation immigrants with a Chinese upbringing and an North American education, we experience cultural and generational conflicts with our parents in a unique way. However, our relationships are stronger for it, and we are optimistic that our self-work can save both our parents and future kids a trip to the therapist's office.
