The hardest dinner table conversations aren’t always parents reprimanding their children—sometimes, it’s the opposite
The hardest conversations at home aren’t always parents reprimanding their children—sometimes, it’s the opposite.
In the discussions, Arvi realized that conversations with older people get cut short once they discover who or what you’re rooting for. “I don’t provide them with credible articles per se, but I do correct some misleading information they mention and check the YouTube channels they watch once in a while,” she says. Ultimately, her use of the Socratic Method, which is grounded on asking and answering questions, was key.
“I can say that because of our brief exchanges of ideas, I gained more trust in [my parents’] critical thinking skills and judgment.” Despite her good relationship with her dad, what she can’t grasp today is her father rooting for a candidate whose family is the reason behind the 1986 EDSA Revolution—an event thatattended. “I pressed him multiple times about it because honestly, I can take that he’s not voting for the candidate I’m supporting. But what I can’t stomach is how he’s going to vote for someone whose family he helped oust.
Thalia’s dad often gets baited by Facebook “conspiracy theories” and unverified information, even outside politics—he’d listen to a “Facebook doctor” more than Thalia, who’s studying medicine. Ultimately, pride is part of the equation. “I feel like [most of the time] he’s just arguing with me to assert dominance, and I’ve always been at the receiving end of ‘bata ka pa ; you don’t know anything.’”
Once, Liam’s sister told their father, “Mawawala ka na tapos kami ’yung maiiwan, kami ’yung mahihirapan.” Then, according to Liam, their dad replied with an obnoxious, “Anong pake ko sa inyo?” But the bigger villain might be more uncontrollable. “We all know how fake news is deceptive and effective, especially to those who are susceptible to believing everything they see on the internet,” he says. Interestingly, Liam’s family—his dad included—voted in the 2010 elections for a candidate you’d never expect, given his dad’s political beliefs today.
Like any frustrated Gen Z, she has devoted her time to sending articles and videos, always mentioning their credibility. I find it best to explain it in a manner that they can relate to, maybe through simpler terms or through anecdotes or simple examples. Try not to be “too factual” or else they’ll just get overwhelmed .I think that they shouldn’t shove all the facts to their parents’ faces but instead, try to talk to them in a way that they can understand. I feel that my parents were overwhelmed with the amount of data I gave them that they didn’t even take the time to read them anymore.
