The world in which parents live is far different to the world our children live in. It's completely unavoidable because reality will come for your perception of it as you grow older. As an adult, your main focus is on paying the bills, taking care of the grocery shopping, improving at your profession and hopefully getting a promotion, etc. However for children, none of this exists, and you can go as far as saying to them it doesn’t matter. They see the world in a very different, inspiring and playful way. They’re just living life and trying to see where they fit in, what kind of things they like, finding new hobbies and interests to just grow one day at a time. You may not want to admit it because it hurts, but being disinterested in your child’s life is the same as being uninterested. They will only be little for so long, and before you know it, one day you’ll turn around, and they’ll be a totally different and much more mature person. Wouldn’t you like to be a part of their transition into adulthood from childhood? If it's a resounding yes, you have to come to terms with the fact that it cannot be done on the sidelines, you must play an active and exciting role in their upbringing.

Generational music swap
The music of our time and era will never be what it was for us to our children. It's the way of the world as it's human nature to change, alter, progress and create new things. But music plays a powerful role in all of our lives as its ability to touch us deep down almost cannot be rivaled with any other art form. Clearly, the music of previous decades was a lot different to the music that is popularly played on radio stations and online mediums nowadays. Put simply, in the 60s, 70s, 80s and even 90s the majority of music was very instrument focussed. It was about Rock n’ Roll, Jazz, Metal and Blues. Now kids listen to songs that are usually mixed up with techno beats and a lot of electronic melodies.
