Some people think only schoolchildren today do not agree with their parents. Communication can be a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some suggestions for you to bridge the generation gap.
●Don't argue with your parents.
Don't confront(和......对峙) your parents with anger. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. Neither can you express yourself well if you are angry. Go somewhere to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. If you don't think you can speak to them at that moment, try writing it down.
●Try to reach a compromise(和解).
Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can still disagree but try your best to find a solution that's favorable(有利的) to each of you. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a car. They argued over it, but finally, they came to a compromise. Michael bought the car, but he only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
●Talk about your values.
The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try.
A. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. B. However, this is not true. C. After that, you can share your problem with your friends. D. Understanding your values might help them understand your decisions. E. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. |
