"Privacy Issues between Parents and Children"
Privacy can be defined differently in each individual, some might find a situation normal, when the other can find it as an invasion of privacy. People have the right to ask for privacy and for others to respect it as well.“...to put it more simply, privacy is the right to be able to have something of your own, not wanting others to interfere or they must have your permission first” (Nhữ, 2020). Parents are likely to engage in their children's life in order to get to know them better or to protect them, but sometimes hacking phones, barging into the teens space unannounced, stalking and monitoring can lead to distrust and invasion of privacy even when you say you’re his/her parent. People have the right to privacy in situations they feel uncomfortable sharing. Parents should be aware that their children are people who still need privacy even if he/she is a child. (Nhữ, 2020) Families are recommended to teach one another and talk about respecting privacy and what it means. In light of this the person will become more self-conscious about their actions. Setting rules and boundaries can help introduce children to slowly understand privacy and being able to get around it. If you respect one another's privacy there is trust and a bond that is built. When one side is ready to share the other should respect the timing and process it took. Being empathetic to one another's shoes can remind you of the position you are in and whether you are crossing a line. Altogether both sides should practice communication and understand boundaries because people define privacy differently. It is right to have a balanced and healthy relationship between parents and children, where both sides are able to communicate well. Failure to respect this, parents and children can grow away from each other and form a rocky relationship.
