Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.

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 is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap （消除代沟） .

Don’t argue （争辩） with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’ consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express （表达） yourself well if you are angry. Go somewhere to cool off . Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.

Try to reach a compromise （和解） . Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.

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.

A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. Have a try!

While I was jumping rope, my smartphone took a fall to the floor which created cracks ( 裂缝 ) on my screen. However, the music kept playing 30 minutes later, I could see only one tenth of my screen while the rest was black. The next morning, I decided not to use it for 24 hours. I felt a sense of calm that day, which led to my not using it for one week. One week ended up becoming 60 days in total without my smartphone.

Here are some advantages I noticed in this challenge.

—You’ll become “bored”

Without my phone, I became bored, but my mind went through all kinds of topics. Boredom （无聊 ) is a perfect way to create new ideas on a business or project. When you are bored, you allow your mind to relax to reach all possibilities.

—You’ll be able to reduce your “work” hours

A survey found that adults checked their smartphones 85 times a day, or once every 10 minutes. As I learned in my challenge, by not having my smartphone, I fell into deep work more easily, so I completed my tasks in a shorter time.

—You’ll improve your mental health

Without my phone, I avoided reading negative ( 负面的 ) news and comments. While that helped make a big improvement in my mental health, the biggest reason for it was truly communicating with people. It brought me more connections with humans in the real world. I went to more dinners with friends and asked more questions to strangers.
