It just means that they see things in different ways.
In the early years of children's lives, parents are the most important people in their world. As children get older and have more contact with other people than their parents, their behavior will be influenced (影响) by other people.
Building up independence
As teens build up independence, parents need to understand a number of points. They are still the most important people in their children's lives while teens are trying to become adults. One of their greatest difficulties is becoming independent while keeping a loving relationship with parents.
Fighting for control
When children are young, many parents keep control over most parts of their children's life. As children grow older, they realize they can never grow into adults without having control of their lives. As a result, teens begin to fight for control. In this period, even a simple topic can trigger a disagreement.
In fact, teens are still worried about losing the most important thing in their lives, the love of parents. At the same time, parents may feel happy about teens' abilities to care for them. It is important that everyone cares so greatly about each other.
▲
What are some ways parents can use to break the cycle of disagreements with their teens? First of all, be aware that teenagers must become independent to become adults.
If becoming independent is the task of children, then the task of parents must be to help their children reach independence.
Also, parents should try to keep the communication lines open and be a good example for their teens to follow. Sometimes parents may need to learn new ways to deal with their own problems, instead of allowing the teen's fight for independence to mix with their problems.
(1)、Why do parents and teens argue with each other?A、They don't love each other anymore. B、They don't see the world in the same way. C、Teenagers want to live a totally independent life. D、Teenagers don't care about parents' love and support.(2)、What's the difficulty for teens as they build up their independence?A、How to get enough money to support their life. B、How to solve the arguments with their parents. C、How to find new ways to deal with their own problems. D、How to become independent while keeping a loving relationship with parents.(3)、Which of the following can take the place of the underlined word "trigger"?A、fill with B、come along C、lead to D、set aside(4)、Which of the following is the best subtitle to fill in " ▲ "?A、Becoming adults B、Solving disagreements C、Allowing mistakes D、Keeping communication(5)、What is the purpose of the article?A、To teach teenagers how to be dependent. B、To explain why teenagers need dependence. C、To give parents advice on getting on with teenagers. D、To tell parents to stay away from their children.6. 配对阅读。左栏是五个人的意向介绍,右栏是七座名山的介绍。请为这五个人选择他们可能想去的名山。选项中有两项为多余项。Shirley wants to climb a mountain famous for Taoism (道教) and have a look at cultural relics (遗迹) such as stone inscriptions (石碑).
