As a result, this lead to insufficiently of time for parent to communicate with their children. 2) Ineffective communication skills - Parent themselves often refuse and fail to understand what are the children thought and thinking. They often impose their value and beliefs to their children. The parent fails to lend listening ear to their children when the children are wanted to share their thought and thinking! This is like one way communication! 3) Peer influence - The classmates and friends of the children often have greater influence on children than their parent, this is because they spend more time with their peer than parent. Their peer is more willing to lend listening ear to the children when they wanted to share their thought and thinking. Therefore, the children consciously or unconsciously pick up limiting beliefs, bad habits from their peer! The breakdown of communications often negatively affect the life of the children. They become unmotivated in their life, lack of self-confidence, poor grade in their school and do not know how to communicate effectively with people and so on!
