	There is no one single common formula to address this malady and it is also difficult to derive one. The demands of the youth are ever changing and it is indeed difficult for anyone to map their requirements and act accordingly. The pinch is felt at every level and at the same time it is difficult to compromise. As parents we wish to give our children a better deal than what we got from our parents and so we give them all that we did not get as children from our parents. But in our enthusiasm, we perhaps fail to understand what the child actually requires. Our intention of satisfying the child's needs ends up only satisfying our own desires and not the child's. Moreover the new generation kids have demands and needs that most parents can't comprehend. The parents only try and insist on what they are giving and it is always a one sided process. We are carrying on the same parenting styles of our parents and hold similar concepts and decide what is good and what is not good for our children as our parents did with us! Is it not ridiculously true that we are no different from our previous generation? A learned parent has to change the way in which the new generation kids have to be treated. These days' children are well informed, most of the time more than the parent and also behave like adults. Among many new generation trends take for example today's fast food craze…if as parents we think that junk food and fast food is not the right thing, the new generation is sure to react. The fast paced city life will make junk food and the fast food concepts to become inevitable and the new generation is getting adapted to it and if we lag behind in understanding these changed circumstances we will not be appreciated by the younger generation for our rigidity. Instead we may stimulate them to look at us in a sarcastic manner. Parents need to adopt a pro-active thinking in most situations involving youngsters of today. Yet another front, which adds to gulf between parents and children, is on the career front. It is the pressure of the parents to take up certain career that puts the youth in a dilemma. We at Garden City College have devised a novel idea called “Career Tourism” which is to ease both parents and the child to choose the right career. The key to building successful career is to choose the right career. We have worked out several modalities that make the entire process a very happy one where the child is not actually put into any sort of pressure. I invite your suggestions that could improvise this new tool called Career Tourism.         Do write to me at: drjoseph@gardencitycollege.edu. Best Regards Dr. Joseph V.G Chairman
