| This study delves into the complex dynamics of parent-child relationships in Malaysian Indian families, examining the interplay of cultural influences, contemporary challenges, gender dynamics, and migration experiences. The research aims to comprehend how cultural values, traditions, and religious teachings shape these relationships and explores the impact of modern challenges like economic pressures, educational expectations, and technological advancements. Additionally, the study investigates gender dynamics, analyzes migration experiences, and identifies implications for familial well-being and cultural adaptation. Adopting a quantitative method approach, the data, collected through surveys, assesses communication patterns, parental expectations, and socio-economic factors affecting parent-child relationships. The findings highlight the intricate nature ofthese relationships, influenced by cultural traditions, contemporary challenges, gender dynamics, and migration experiences. Cultural values such as respect for elders and filial piety guide parental expectations and children's behavior. However, challenges like economic pressures and gender biases pose obstacles, impacting interactions and children's well-being. Migration experiences influence relationships as families navigate dual cultural identities and negotiate belongingness in both Malaysian and Indian contexts. The study underscores the need to support Malaysian Indian families in navigating diverse challenges while preserving their cultural heritage and fostering inclusive parent-child relationships.Keywords:Malaysian Indian families, Cultural influences, Migration experiences, Socio-economic factors, Communication patterns,Gender equality |
