What is one thing that would help parents understand their kids better? More than 8,000 US kids answered this question in an online poll (投票) by KidsHealth.org.

Many US kids — two out of three — said they get along with their parents. But that doesn’t mean they never disagree. In fact, most kids reported arguing with their parents, at least sometimes. And two out of five kids said arguments sometimes even include shouting at each other.

“It’s certainly normal to disagree and argue,” says Darcy Lyness, an American expert. “But it’s also important to learn how to do so respectfully (尊重地). Be patient. Don’t use a raised, angry voice.”

And not surprisingly, three out of four kids said they had lied to their parents sometimes. Many said they lie so they would not get in trouble or disappoint their parents. According to Lyness, lying isn’t just wrong. It can actually have bad results. Telling the truth builds trust.

Telling the truth, says Lyness, shows maturity (成熟). But older kids actually lie more often than younger ones. Kids aged 12 to 14 not only said they lie more, but they also reported having less fun, feeling less close and not getting along as well with their parents.

According to Lyness, those feelings are common. As kids become more independent (独立), they have more areas of disagreement with their parents. But it doesn’t have to be that way. “Kids and parents get along differently at each stage of the journey,” she says. “As kids grow and change, it is important for everybody to change.”
