Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages.If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it.Here are some advice for you tobridge the generation gap(代沟).
Don’t argue

Try to reach a compromise

Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something.In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect(尊敬)to them.Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values.
The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own.Tell your parents what you care about, and why.Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
