Abstract
One of the indicators of a healthy family is the establishment of favorable relations between parents and children, which has faced many changes from the past to the present. In this way, the family structure, the way parents interact with each other and their Parenting Styles, as well as the generation gap that exists between parents and children, plays a very important role in the formation of interactions between family members and creating an authoritarian or democratic context. Considering that the role of parents in the formation of interactions in the family is very important; The present study aims to explain the formation and status of dialogue between parents and children in Yazdi families. For this purpose, a qualitative approach and grounded theory method and theoretical sampling were used and 25 couples from normal families in Yazd were selected and interviewed in depth. The collected data were categorized into open, axial and selective coding includ 16 main categories, 67 secondary categories. To sum up, these categories were presented in one core category of "gap of Theory and Practice in dialogue with children". Accordingly, the paradigm model and theoretical scheme of the research were presented. The explanation of the results generally shows the gap between the subjective belief and the practical challenges in the interaction of parents and children, and it affects the dialogue situation in the family. In fact, although parents intellectually believe in establishing constructive interactions and dialogue with their children, but in practical terms due to time constraints, communication technologies, parents' culture and generation gap they are still involved with problems in the formation of interactions.
