Passage 6
Children and parents often have trouble understanding each other. Sometimes, kids think their parents are unfair to them. 1 When you are making phone calls to friends, they
ask if you're speaking to a boy or a girl.
Sometimes it seems that you're not as close to your parents as you used to be. 2 Closing the Gap by American writer Jay McGraw gives advice on how to get along better with your parents.
3 Do not depend on your diary too much to share your trouble. You should spend time talking with your parents. You could talk about your school life and your plans for the future. Expert Carl E. Pickhardt believes sharing feelings with our parents can lead to good changes, while not sharing them can cause misunderstandings(误解).
Care for your parents. 4 For example, wash your own clothes, help them with some chores, make gifts for them or teach them some computer skills. Your parents will feel that you are no longer a small child. 5
Act like an adult. If you want your parents to give you more freedom(自由), you should show them that you have grown up. For example, learn to use self-control like an adult. Show them that you can plan your time well.
If you follow these steps, slowly, you will be able to break down the walls between your parents and yourself.
