ESSAY MISS COMMUNICATION

The causes of the lack of communication between parents and children can have several causes: personal characteristics, distances, traumas, addictions etc. In the case of the story read, A Day`s Wait, little Schatz is sick: "He was shivering, his face was white, and he walked slowly as though it ache to move"; his father reacts like any parent would react by asking if the child is not feeling well: "What`s the matter, Schatz"; son responds by saying that he just has a headache. A dad that is more sensitive to the feelings of the son would have insisted upon noting that the son does not appear to be feeling well. There is parents who do not have facility to handle and deal with their children's feelings, perhaps because he himself has gone through a similar situation, a trauma. The alcoholism can disrupt for obvious reasons: if the father cannot deal with their own feelings imagine with other people. Distance and also intuitive, depending on the availability of technologies. However these are not cases of history.
In dealing with the consequences of the lack of communication between parents and children, these may vary between fights, more trauma, family breakdown, separation, misunderstandings, dislikes etc. In the case of this reading, one of the major consequences was the anguish in which the child spent all day: "He lay still in the bed and Seemed very detached from what was going on."
So, to avoid these situations, the best thing to do to and try to understand the other person's feelings, try to imagine what the other person is going through, insisting because sometimes when people go through bad situations they may find it difficult to express their feelings and end falling in a zone of bitterness. In the case of this story, the resolution left the question of the child: "About what time do you think I`m going to die?"
