Gen Z often disregards parental advice in favor of suggestions from peers or respected figures, a phenomenon known as the messenger effect. Research indicates that the credibility and likability of the person delivering advice significantly influence whether it is accepted, even if the content is the same. Parents should focus on whether their children are ready to accept guidance, emphasizing the importance of the advice given over the need for recognition. This understanding can help bridge the communication gap between parents and their Gen Z children.
Gen Z often places greater value on advice from peers or respected figures than from their parents, reflecting a shift in trust and influence dynamics.
Parents should prioritize the outcome of their advice rather than seeking acknowledgment, recognizing that their child's openness to receive advice matters more.
