A FEW TOOLS & TECHNIQUES
The following steps can prove to be very helpful when dealing with generation gap:
1. There must always be scope for healthy and peaceful discussion and active listening.
2. People from two or three generations should try and spend time with each other.
3. You must try to understand things as the other person sees them, not as how you want them
to see things.
4. You should avoid reacting and assuming things based on stereotypes, and instead keep
an open mind.
