Millennial Parents, Millennial Generation Years

The people who were born during the last two decades of the 20th century are referred to as the Millennial generation. It took a few years for the sociologists to settle on a name for the generations. For a period of time millennials were known as the Generation Y since they followed the Generation X.

The Born of Millennials

Born of Millennials

Millennials starting year can be anywhere between 1977 – 1981 and the ending year however can be almost identified between 1995-1996. So generally Millennials are born during the year 1981-1996.

If your parents are baby boomers i.e 1946-1964 then you are an older millennial but if your parents belong from the generation X i.e 1965-1976 the you are a younger millennial.

Characteristics of a Millennial generation:

It was fun for the sociologists and researchers to find the characteristics of a millennial. But they did not come empty handed, here are few characteristics of a millennial that are noticed by the researchers.

  • The Millennial generation is good at accepting the challenges. They have witnessed a drastic shift in the technology, economy and the business of the country throughout their life. They have experienced that things don’t stay for longer time they do change and this is the big lesson they have learned.
  • They have curiosity in knowing things. They will find out if there’s any other better way of doing certain things. To fulfill their curiosity they will take full advantage of all the facilities and tools that are available to be more effective. This quality of them makes them a valuable employee.
  • They value what teamwork is. They believe in working together as a team and enjoy the collaborative work environment. They are keen to seek out the viewpoints and inputs of others as well which is why they are a good team player and a leader.
  • They worship the feedback that they receive from everyone. Feedbacks are valuable for them especially in the workplace. They seek out criticism and mentorship and appreciate the feedback from their seniors as well as juniors.
  • They love to read. The millennials would rather visit a public library on a free day then meet a group of people.

It’s not like a fortune told while learning about what generation you belong to. It will not tell you your personality or reveal what talents you hold. But it makes you comfortable around the group of people with whom you can relate to similar experiences and lifestyles with the technology, education system and economy with some other aspects of life.

Remember that you are a part of a unique generation whatever your age is now. The people who come after you will thank you and the ones who have come before you will learn new things from you. Every step of it is going to make  you feel good and enjoy it bit by bit.

Millennials are making a difference at home

Millennials

The Millennial generation believes very much in family. They give their best while raising a healthy kid. All the parents work differently and take steps for their children accordingly. Some are broken, some are sinful and some are great at being wonderful parents. Each generation has taken up on their roles very nicely and show effort, hard work and a lot of prayer.

What do millennial parents expect from their child’s school?

The new parenting style of millennials has a big impact on the life of childrens and how they grow up with education. Schools were just a place where children got education decades ago but no school has much more to give and provide to the children.

Let’s see what Millennial parents want for their child’s education and school.

Variety in the Learning: They don’t want their child to be a bookworm and just learn and believe in what has been written in the books or theory dont want that they just learn from a screen. Millennial parents do know the importance of academic studies but with that they do want their child to learn something that is out of the syllabus and diverse the learning to help their children find out what are their passions and what they love to do and prefer studying.

 Results:  Just like a child of a parent a millennial also wants his child to have less grades. They also want their kids to acquire good marks but on their wish not by forcing them to study. The school should also prepare the kid to deal with the outer world with real problems.

Expectations: It is understandable that as a parent you will want the best for your child and have expectations. But keep expectations on the things they believe in and have faith in.
