Answer 1

Heart-to-Heart Talks with Parents

Our research team conducted a survey among the local children on how much time they usually spend per week talking with their parents. According to the survey, children spend less time having heart-to-heart talks with their parents when they grow older. For example, the 7-9 age group spends as many as 6 hours per week on average, while the 16-18 age group spends only half the time talking with their parents.

       There are three major reasons for this. 60% of the children think they have few topics in common with their parents. Another 20% say both parents and children are too busy working or studying to have a talk. Others even consider it useless talking with their parents, arguing that it does little good to their studies.

In my opinion, having regular heart-to-heart talks is a good way to form a good relationship between parents and children. As children we should first show respect to our parents, looking on them as our close friends and letting them know what we are interested in. Secondly, we should learn how to be a good listener.
