【推荐1】One day, I watched my little girl playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic phone; in the other a toy broom (扫帚). I listened as she was speaking to her imaginary (假装的) friend on the phone. I’ll never forget the words she said, even though she was just imagining.

She said, “Suzie’s in the corner because she’s not been very good. She doesn’t listen to a word I say or do the things she should.” In the corner I saw her baby doll (娃娃). It was clear that she was there to sit alone and think.

My daughter went on with her own “conversation (对话)” as I sat down on the floor. She said, “I’m all fed up. I just don’t know what to do with her anymore! She never lets me do the things that I just have to do! I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don’t have the time to sit and play — don’t you know what I mean?”

That day, I thought a lot about making some changes in my life as I listened to her words.

Now I have changed because I learned to see the world in a different light, through my little darling’s eyes. I’m going to fill the house with memories (记忆) of a child and her kind mother.

【推荐2】Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.       1    If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap.

Don't argue with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry.     2    Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.

Try to reach a compromise（和解）. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something.     3    Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise, Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.

Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them.     4    

Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own.     5    Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.

A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!

【推荐3】Dear Doctor Green,

My relationship with my mother is worse and worse now. It seems she’s never tired of talking. She talks here and there, day and night. More seriously, I feel like we don’t have much in common. She doesn’t always understand what I’m trying to say. What should I do?

Yours,

Jim

Dear Jim,

I know how you feel. It’s not easy being your age and it’s not easy being a mother either.

It’s common for kids to have trouble talking with parents. And mothers who talk too much are not new to teenagers. But remember, she’s nagging(唠叨) you because she just wants what’s best for you. Talking is her way to show love and care. And she also wants to know more about you. After a day’s work, she’s tired, too. But she will never be tired of caring about you. Kids should learn to understand and care about parents.

In my opinion, it’s helpful to share school life with her: you talk and she listens. Doing some housework together with her is another good way for you to know each other better. And if possible, often tell her your feelings about things around you. Always keep in mind: be polite and patient.

Yours,

Doctor Green
