Understanding of Individual Context:
Parents have known their children since birth and have a deep understanding of their personality, strengths, and weaknesses. This can make their advice highly personalized and tailored.
Friends, though they know each other well, might not have the same depth of understanding about each other’s background and family dynamics. Their advice can be insightful but might lack the depth of context that parents have.
In summary, while both parents and friends can provide valuable advice, the nature of their guidance is influenced by their unique relationships and perspectives. Parents bring experience, long-term thinking, and deep understanding, while friends offer relatability, neutrality, and immediate support.
