Abstract

With the rapid development of the society and the competition of educational resources, the education of children has attracted more and more attention of parents. Furthermore, with the traditional mindset of parents, conflicts are inevitable. At present, it has been found that in most of the families there are conflicts between parents and children, which may be caused by various reasons, like the improper communication or lack of communication. Although there are many research, not many people have noticed that there may be some differences between girls and boys. Commonly, boys are more aggressive than girls, since in their teenage time, boys secrete more androgen than girls, which can make them more aggressive. In contrary, girls have stronger willingness and better ability to communicate. Hence, there may be different reasons or different consequences between family conflict considering the gender of the children. By observing the target groups-teenagers age around 12 to 19, it comes to the conclusion that boys are more likely to have physical conflict with their parents, while girls have emotional conflicts. Furthermore, different family structures can lead to different kinds of family conflicts. Furthermore, we had concluded that mothers are more likely to have conflicts with their children compare with fathers, and the conflict between mothers and girls are more than mothers and boys since children might think that they feel more equally with their father than mother. Therefore, people should pay attention to both the gender of the children and the family structures, when they attempt to reduce their family conflicts.
