we had good food, decent clothes, and a nice place to live in. but they also required us to do whatever they told us to do. and we were supposed to keep no secrets from them. if isupposed to keep no secrets from them. if i were a parent, i would try my best to supply the best for my child(ren)’s daily needs, just as what my parents did to me. but i would also do somethin g different: i would respect my child(ren)’s privacy; i would not give orders. instead, i would try to become their friends and encourage them to do what they like.
3. yes, after reading the two stories in this unit, i have come to
a better understanding of my
parents’ love for me. though my father and other show their love in different ways, everything they do for me is meant to do me good, even when they are being tough with me. most times i tend to take their love for granted. i rarely spend time thinking about their love for me, let alone expressing thanks for their love. a better understanding of my parents’ love will prompt me to think about that i can do to them, and how i can repay them for their selfless love.
4. conflicts between parents and children may be sometimes inevitable. however, there are
something we can do to reconcile and solve the disagreement: . calm down – anger only makes things worse;
. analyze the reason for the conflicts;
. try to be in our parents’ shoes and see thinks fr om their angle;
. explain what is on our mind and try to have their support; and
. make compromises whenever we can.
