would do anything for you. Like a lot of middle school students, Zhuang Shuxia has a problem. She and
her parents don't get on well. "I really want to be my Daddy's little girl. But it feels like he just doesn't
understand. He talks at me and doesn't listen." said Zhuang, a Grade 9 student in Hangzhou. Do you and
your parents also have problems? Well, why don't you all take a walk and have a talk on Monday? It's the
International Day of Families. On May 15, people around the world give thanks for good things about their
families and work on family problems. A study last year showed that 1,500 Beijing families had the same
problem as Zhuang's family: The children, 12 to 15 years old, didn't like talking with their parents much.
