Interpersonal Communication skills are very essential to avoid misunderstandings and confusion. For example, many people give less importance to Hearing the other man's point of view. This is a bad practice. Listening is always more valuable than talking.
This thread throws light on some of the Vital aspects to be adhered to while Communicating with others.

I agree. In conversations and discussions most of the people indulge in Bulldozing leading to misunderstandings and chaos, which is undesirable. A conversation sans Listening the others views are nothing but Battles in words.

I agree with that, totally dominating conversation or discussion , barging in at every level even when they have very little to contribute, is a disgusting trait some have.

Communication is the key to any successful relationship and career. Within a family, more so because you are constantly spending time with one another and there is always the possibility of mis understanding and misinterpretation !

Very rightly said! This skill is very much required and it becomes quite handy while handling the teens as well as very young adults. The problem between the young ones and the parents arises when no side is ready to listen each other. Neither dictatorship of the parents nor the foolish adamant attitude of the young ones solve any issue. It has to be a healthy communication with proper hearing of each other and every issue gets solved.

We face problems even within a nuclear family structure, so one can imagine the kind of stress that might be there in extended families where the in laws live with their sons family or a joint family...

Oh yes, It's a regular feature. The aged in-laws hardly prefer to listen rather directly or indirectly they try to impose their wish. They never want to accept the fact that the family cannot run like the way they did and it builds up stress in the family. Patient hearing is very important but it is usually missing in our families.
it's not true that all the aged in -laws will force their beliefs on the family and create stress. It's the other way round. I know a family related to me,where Mother -in - law and Daughter- in - law maintained exemplary relations. Annapoorna, the Mother - in- law, is of modern thinking and educated. She used to direct her Daughter - in -Law, who came from an orthodox family how to apply her old beliefs in the right way in an amicable and friendly way.

I have not said 'all' the aged in-laws but it's a very common practice in most of the Indian families. It is very natural too and that's why we use the word 'generation gap' but certainly there are some exceptions too.
