While nowadays, the fast pace of working and life make the parents busy at career ignore the importance of having a dinner with children. American educational expert Marshall.P.Duke told us that happy communication at the dinner table or even a talk before sleeping is good for family harmonious relationship and promoting children’s thinking.

Make some time on investing in your dinner with children. In a successful dinner case, the first point is the democracy atmosphere among the family. Children can express what he likes. Parents play an important role in leading a good family dinner.

Here are some tips for reference.

1. Don’t get your children into the habit of eating and watching TV at the same time.
2. For the picky eating problems, more encouragement and less pressing.
3. Each member of the family has to join in the dinner chat.
4. For parents, focus on listening.
5. Say some words to show that you are listening to your kids.
6. Sincerely speak out something about your kids’ true feelings on what they express. Like: it is really difficult to lose a friend. I am really sorry to hear the bad situation that your classmates have. Is there something that we can help him out?

During my time as a teenager and after I got to campus, I met a part of those cases. My cousin, 4 years old than me, was indulged in playing video games without going to school when he was in high school. You can find him only either in web café or in bed of his room. My mom and his parents all had searched him all over the cafes of the town. Each time after caught back, what he faced with was a hard hit from his parents and a period of education besides his ears. However, anther cycle of the scene went on several days later. At that time, maybe 10 years ago, my aunt’s family hated those bosses of the web café severely. They thought that it was those cafes brought the damages to a lot of families like them.

From most of the teenagers’ addiction cases, the parents care less about the children’s private life. They communicate so less and parents cannot really touch the heart of their kids. They don’t really know what the hell the teenagers think. Most of the time, parents have the busiest period in their life when their family needs more home expenditure. They bury their head in their career and leave less and less time about how to getting through their children. I think maybe that leads to the impact coming from the internet for the relationship between parents and teenagers. For those bad parents- children relationship family, it is time to make some time to fix it up. Internet is not our enemy. It is a good tool if we use it good and maybe a terminator if we don’t learn a lesson from ourselves.

 Nowadays, more and more parents become aware of bed wetting problems and take prompt measures. However, there are still lots of parents think that it is just a problem of age and it will be better when kids get older. They wait and wait for the bed wetting disappears itself.

It is diagnosed as enuresis when kids older than 5 years old frequently wet the beds at night and wet the pants in daytime. Wetting bed (enuresis) is caused by a lot of reasons. Neurological-developmental delay, genetics, infection/disease, physical abnormalities, stress, food allergies are all seemed to be possible reasons for enuresis medically. Bed wetting problems also have various harmful effects to the kids and the relationship between kids and the family. It will affects the physical and mental health in kids’ later life, such as his behavior as grown ups.

If your kids have bed wetting problem, pay more attention on it and tackle it earlier.

I think that many teenagers; especially those teenagers out of control have experienced this kind of things. They lost parents’ trust to some extend. Without trust, relations between parents and children are always in a vicious circle. Children don’t open their heart to parents and parents feel disappointed day by day. Parents are too busy and are always caught up in too many annoyed things. They sometimes have no patience to listen to our explanations. They judge it on the basis of the previous behaviour teenagers have done.

Actually, trust is the force that makes us move forwards. It means concerning and encouragement. It is always simulative. It sets up equality and respect between parents and children. Always keep in mind that parents should be the first and most reliable friends children can count on.
