Question

   You probably talk to friends much more than you talk to your parents. That's natural. Even if you and your parents have a great relationship,you want to find your own path and make your own choices. Still,most of us want a parent's help,advice,and support at times. However talking to the adults in your life can seem difficult. But how to make it easier?

   First,talk about everyday stuff and do it every day. The more you do something,the easier it gets. Talking to the adults in your life about everyday stuff builds a bond that can smooth the way when you need to discuss something more serious.

   Find something unimportant to chat about each day. Talk about how your team did or share something one of your teachers said. Even small talk about what's for dinner can keep your relationship strong and comfortable.

   It's never too late to start. If you feel your relationship with your parents is nervous,try relaxing conversations. Talk about how well your little sister is doing in math. Chatting with parents every day keeps the relationship stronger.
