Is there anything that could help parents understand their kids better? More than 8,000 kids answered this question in an online survey by Time for Kids and Kids Health. Org.

Many kids — two out of three — said they _______ their parents. But that doesn’t mean they _______ disagree. In fact, most kids reported _______ with their parents on occasion(偶尔). Some even reported that their arguments included shouting at each other.

“It’s certainly _______ to disagree and argue,” says D’Arcy Lyness, a child psychologist(心理学家). “But it’s also important to learn how to do so politely.”

It is not _______ that three out of four kids said they had lied(撒谎) to their parents sometimes. Many said they lied _______ they wouldn’t get in trouble or disappoint their parents. According to Lyness, lying can have bad _______. If kids lie when they’re young, they might continue a pattern of lying even as adults.

Telling the truth, on the other hand, shows maturity(成熟). But older kids actually lie more _______ than younger ones. Kids aged 12 to 14 not only said they lied more, but they also reported having less fun, feeling less close and not getting along as well with their _______.

According to Lyness, these feelings are common. As kids become more ________, they have more areas of disagreement with their parents.
