Senior high week 1: my parents & me
Lead in
Let’s do a quick survey, just raise your hand if it’s true for you.
1. Who had your parents buy you new stationery or clothes for senior high?
2. Who has received a We Chat message from your parents asking “did you eat well” every day this week?
3. Who has had a small argument with your parents over phone time, bedtime or grades these days?
We can feel our parents’ love clearly, but it’s also common to have small fights. This is not just happening to you — it’s a problem for almost all teenagers and their parents.

Read a short poem about Mother Bird first. Listen carefully and feel what’s in Mother Bird’s heart.
How would you describe Mother Bird’s feelings? Is she happy, worried, or both?
Why does she have to let the baby fly, even though she worries?
Lead in
She is full of love and care, but she also knows she must let her baby grow up and fly alone. It’s a love that holds on, and also a love that lets go.
How would you describe Mother Bird’s feelings? Is she happy, worried, or both?
Why does she have to let the baby fly, even though she worries?
Your parents are just like Mother Bird — they are proud of you, but they also worry a lot. That’s why they sometimes nag or ask too many questions.

1. The magazine article suggests that teenagers want both independence and their parents’ love and support. Do you feel the same way or not? Give an example.
I feel the same way. Sometimes I wish my parents would treat me like an adult and give me the freedom to make my own decisions. However, when I experience difficulties or setbacks, I would also like their encouragement and comforting words. This makes me feel loved and gives me the courage to keep going.

2. What stresses do the parents of a teenager have to deal with? How do they influence the parent-child relationship?
Parents may worry about their children's performance at school. If children fail to get good grades, their parents might start to be stricter, believing they are not doing their best. This in turn makes their children upset. Parents may also worry that their children are not making the “right” friends. As a result, they might ask a lot of questions about their children's friends, such as where they are going and what they are doing together. This can make their children feel like they are not trusted.

How to Set Up a Good Parent-child Relationship
A good parent-child relationship, based on understanding and respect, is of great benefit to teenagers’ mental and physical health, allowing them to explore this world confidently and freely.
Teenagers and parents can work together to set up a good parent-child relationship. The key to avoiding tensions and keeping the peace is regular and honest communication. For parents, it is advisable to treat children as independent individuals, listening to children’s ideas and encouraging them to think on their own rather than decide everything for them.
Meanwhile, when teenagers disagree with parents and a conflict is on the way, take a minute to calm down and try to understand the situation from parents’ point of view. Please remember that everything will turn out all right in the end!
Thank you
for your listening
