My teenage daughter and I are both trying to understand her calculus homework using the Feynman technique, but when she can't explain something simply she gets frustrated and shuts down, and when I try to explain it back she says I'm making it too complicated. We end up in this loop where neither of us can teach the other and the homework becomes a battleground about who understands what.
More people experience this than they realize.
The authority dynamics between parent and child complicate the mutual vulnerability that effective explanation requires.
