Do you often talk with your parents? Here are some ways on how to talk with them.

Try to start your talk with something fun. This will make talking easier. For example, ask them questions about their day. How’s work? They love this.

Make it clear what you want to tell your parents. If they have an opinion, let them finish and don’t stop their talking. Ask them to do the same for you.

Show them respect by listening to them carefully and look them in the eye.

Be honest. Honesty builds trust (信任). Life is good when your parents trust you.

If your parents don’t understand, that’s OK. It doesn’t mean they don’t love you. Sometimes you have to explain (解释) the things to them again.

When you finish the talk, thank them for listening. Say something like, “Thanks, you help me a lot.”   It will let them know this is important to you, and you make them do it more often.
