Question

     Parents are the closest people to you in the world. They love you just
because you are you. And they would do anything for you. Like a lot of
middle school students, Zhuang Shuxia has a problem. She and her parents
don’t get on well.
     "I really want to be my daddy's little girl. But it feels like he just doesn't
understand. He just says something to me and doesn't listen,"said Zhuang, a
Junior 3 student in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.
     Do you and your parents also have problems?
     Well, why don't you all take a walk and have a talk on Saturday? It's the
International Day of Families. On May 15, people around the world give
thanks for good things about their families and work on family problems.
     A study last year showed that 1,500 Beijing families had the same
problem as Zhuang's family: The children, 12 to 15 years old, didn't like
talking with their parents much. They weren't happy at home.
     Of course, lots of kids feel that way. But you and your parents will be
much happier if you can be friends. Here are some ways to have a good talk with them:
     ◆ Find a good time to talk, like when you're eating dinner, going out for a walk or watching TV.
     ◆ Tell them something you're interested in, or ask them about their lives when they were young. They love to talk about it.
     ◆ Listen to them carefully, and look them in the eye.
     ◆ Be honest. Your parents will trust you more. And a trusting family is a happy family.
