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 her problem. She and her parents don't get on well. "I really want to be my daddy's little girl. But he just doesn't understand. He speaks to me but doesn't listen to me," said Zhuang, a Junior 3 student in Hebei. Of course, lots of kids feel that way. But you and your parents will be much happier if you can be friends. Why don't you take a walk and have a talk with your parents first? Here are some ways to have a good talk with them:
Find a good time to talk, like when you're having 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 (信任) you more. And a trusting family is a happy family.
