Have you ever had a dream to make your home a happier place? Maybe there are some points you can follow.

     Sometimes you quarrel with your parents. When you want to dress in a modern way, your mum doesn't like you to wear a mini-skirt. When you are making phone calls to friends, they ask if you're speaking to a boy or a girl. It seems that you are not as close to your parents as you used to be. Ho~ can you become close again?

      Closing the Gap by American writer Jay McGraw gives advice on how to have a better relationship with your parents. He gives ways to help you understand your parents. When you think, "My parents don't want me to have any fun.", that usually means your parents want you to be safe. Both parents and children have needs. They need to feel they are important and loved. You should tell your parents your needs, and find out what their needs are. Then, you can think of a way to make all of you happy. He gives you some ideas:

     1. Make time to talk. You could talk about your school life and your plans for the future.

2. Keep a diary. This is to help you understand more about yourself and your feelings.

     3. Show your parents you are growing up. Wash your clothes and help clean the house.

     Your parents will feel that you are no longer a little child. If you follow these steps, soon you will have a good relationship with your parents.
