A good Chinese TV program(节目)in Hunan TV is very popular now. It is called “Where are we going, Dad?”. This program is about dads and their children who are from 5 different families. They would finish some hard tasks (任务) without their moms in 3 days and 2 nights. The 5 dads had to play "dad" and "mom" role at the same time. The 5 dads, all of them are famous popular stars, They must forget who they are and just remember they are usual fathers. All the cell phones(手机) and toys weren't allowed (允许) to use in the program. They had to live in a very hard environment. At first, all the five children cried, because they were just 4 to 6 years old. They had never lived in the countryside. On the first day, the children’s task was to find a pot, vegetables and fish, and their dads cook dinner. As the time went on, the five lovely children were becoming friendly to each other. They made deep friendship and did difficult tasks together. After they found all the things, their fathers could cook delicious food. They all felt so happy. From this program, the five children made us laugh and cry with them together. They were 4-year-old Kimi and Angela, 5 year-old Cindy and 6-year-old Tiantian and Shitou. It was the whole story in Episode 1(第一集). We hope the second one next Friday evening will be more interesting!

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 are 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’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go to someplace 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.
