关于 How can parents and children improve their mutual underst

In the society today,one evident problem is the lack of communication and mutual understanding between the parents and their children.School leavers at sixteen,divorce,running away from home,homeless teens,these appears often,not only in China,but in countries especially like the USA and UK.
Parents may be too work-oriented to give their children emotional attention,instead,many chose to bombard their children with material goods.Children being children,they need affections,like all living things,without the emotional nutrients they would whither and die.Humans are the same,their mentality may breakdown if they were stripped of affection.
Communication is important,because if you don't say what you are thinking,people aren't telepathic creatures,they don't know what each other are thinking.Speaking out one's thoughts are usually the quickest way to solve this problem.But a lack of self-esteem may prevent such speeches between families,also formalities may also be an obstacle.
