where students are having difficulties. Firstly, nuclear families have replaced extended ones.
In the past, there were usually three generations living
together in a household. Now, there are often two:
parents and children. The generation gap has become
less obvious.
Secondly, Vietnamese people are traditionally family-
oriented. Holidays in the past mostly meant gathering,
cooking and eating. Now, more families go out, visit a
place, play and eat. Overall, holidays have become
more relaxing and less tiring.
Lastly, families in the past spent more time talking
and doing things together. Children came to their
elders to share their experiences and look for answers
to their questions. Today’s children have more
opportunities to learn from other sources. They do not
depend all on their elders. While they listen to their
parents, they want their parents to listen to them, too.
The relation between parents and children is more
