【答案】 communication；or；to see；their；faced；difficulties；more；best；really；with 【解析】【分析】本文介绍了孩子与父母件怎么沟通太有效。
（1）句意：缺乏交流是问题之一。句中communicate是动词，作介词of的宾语，要用名词形式，communication交流，抽象名词，故填 communication。
（2）句意：是我们要么和朋友交谈，要么就对我们的问题保持沉默，either…or…要么……要么……，固定搭配，故填or。
（3）句意：我们总是看不到父母对我们的关心。fail to do sth，不能成功地做某事，故此处是不定式，故填to see。
（4）句意：这很遗憾，因为我们事实上可以从他们的经历中学到很多东西。修饰名词experiences，要用形容词性物主代词their ，they是主格，故填their。
（5）句意：他们曾经也遇到过相同的问题和困难。描述过去要用一般过去时态，故填faced。
（6）句意：他们曾经也遇到过相同的问题和困难。句中and连接并列结构，difficult要和前面的problems保持一致，用difficulties表达各种各样的困难，故填difficulties。
（7）句意：我们要努力用更开放的思维对待父母的观点。be系动词后是形容词，此处暗含比较，故用比较级，复合形容词 open-minded前加more是比较级，故填more。
（8）句意：父母总想把最好的给我们。the定冠词是最高级的标志，good的最高级是best，故填best。
（9）句意：花点时间坐下来和他们交谈。副词修饰动词talk，real是形容词，副词是really，故填really。
（10）句意：他们可能会给你提供一些有用的建议。 provide sb with sth，固定搭配，提供某人某物，故填with。
