Chinese kids and their parents

    Only 18% of kids talk to their parents when they have problems.

    Over 50% of kids think their parents don't understand them.

    Almost 50% of parents talk to their children only about school.

    Ways to solve the problems

    As a parent, you need to communicate with your children in a friendly way and encourage them to share their feelings with you. To help you understand each other better, you can also take part in different activities together. This way, your conversations will not only be about school.
