you smarter and help you grow mature. good communication will, in my view, help build a good relationship the following
are my ways to strengthen communication with my parents: . visit them whenever possible; . invite them to see what i am doing at college; . teach them to use new communication tools, such as wechat and skype, so that they can communicate with me wherever i am; . try to look at things from their perspectives; and . share with them my feelings, problems or ambitions. although there is no standard pattern for a good parent-child relationship , some common factors can contribute to a more successful relationship: . respect each other; . support and encourage each other; . understand each other; . have fun together; and . be friends. yes, many parents are expecting to much of their children. first, most families have only one child and parents want to make a perfect child out of them. second, competition is intense in school and at work today. so parents want their children to learn as much as possible so as to gain advantages over others in competition. it’s not uncommon that some parents force their children to achieve what is even hard for adults. but they ignore the fact that winning is not the only important thing and that children should have their own e
njoyment and preferences. no, i don’t think parents today are expecting too much of their children. competition is
becoming increasingly intense in school and at the workplace. so it is natural for parents to help their children to make full
use of their talent and become as competitive as possible. they know better about how far their children can go. besides, moreand more parents, including my parents, think it is more important for their children to be healthy and happy. of course, while they expect that their children study hard and achieve success, they should at the same time see to it that their children are not overworking themselves.
