Growing pains
Welcome to the unitFamilies with childrenFamilies with childrenGrowing painsBrief introduction:
Growing pains was on TV from 1985 to 1992, a total of seven years, and it told over 160 different stories.
It was about a family of six. The father was a doctor and the mother, a reporter. The oldest child was Mike. He was the important reason for the program’s huge success.
The program was so popular in the USA that many of the people, both at home and abroad, still watch them now. Its stories were about ordinary family problems. Like Mike’s parents, many parents who work often worry about their children.Let's watch a video.Do you have growing pains?Let’s seeUnit 2````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````1从小,我就很烦!Growing PainsPains of ExamsMy God!Too difficult Mom, Stop!Pain of PrivatePains of friends Too rude!Pains of LoveHurt fellingToo many troubles, all around the world.Discussion

Why are there so many misunderstandings between parents and children? In my opinion, the reasons can be listed as follows. First of all, the two generations, having grown up at different t_____, have different l____ and d________, and that is why the d_______often arise between them.
Secondly, having little in c_____ to talk about, they are not willing to sit face to face. Last but not least, with the pace of modern life becoming faster and faster, they both are so busy with their work or study that they can’t spare enough time to e_______ their ideas.
