  Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers.But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son:suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents."The door to his room is always shut." Joanna noted.

  Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter."She used to sit in my arms on the sofa and talk with me, " said Mark."Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something.Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady.The problem is figuring out which time is which."

  Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what's on their minds."In fact, parents are first on the list." said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers."This completely changes during the teen years." Riera explained."They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last."

  Parents who know what's going on in their teenagers' lives are in the best position to help them.To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them.And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young.Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.

      Every year in English-speaking countries, people list the most popular names. Here are some examples.
In the United States at the moment the three most popular names for girls are Emily, Emma and Madison.
For boys, they are Michael, Joshua and Mathew. In Britain a parent today might call their little girl Grace,
Jessica or Ruby. If they have a little boy they could call him Jack, Thomas or Oliver.   
     In China names have very clear meanings. If a girl is called Mei, her name means "beautiful". If a boy is
called Wu, his name means "like a soldier". Names in English-speaking countries are like this too. The girl's
name Joy is probably partly chosen because the parents wish their daughter to be happy and bring joy to
others. If a girl is called Ruby, it may be because of the beautiful red precious (宝贵的) stone.

people. Parents might choose such names because they want to be able to speak to their kid in a personal

same is true of the favorite old name for a girl, Elizabeth. Elizabeth can be shortened to Beth, Liza and Liz.   
     Another reason kids get the names they do is that parents want to name their boy or girl after someone
who is famous, such as an actor, pop star or sports personality. David is a popular name in Britain, partly
