My suggestions:
First of all,communicate with each other face to face.
Besides, keep our minds open, listen to our parents’ advice carefully and think carefully.
Finally, talk to our parents sincerely,treat our parents the way we want them to treat us....
Choose a conflict, discuss and make a play and act it out.
