Nobody likes to do chores， especially kids. How can you make your kids get into a good habit of doing their chores? Try making chores fun for them.
Play some music： Music makes everything seem like a party， doesn’t it? Play your kids’ favorite music and let them dance around while they are doing their chores.
Make it a treasure hunt (寻宝)： It’s a good way when you would like them to clean the house. Let them know that you hide (隐藏) a $5 bill someplace. If they find it， they can keep it.
Change often： If your kids keep doing the same chores for months， they may feel bored. Teaching them a new task (任务) is fun for both you and the kids. They will feel more grown up when they get a new task.
Do it together： It’s never fun to be the only one working and watching everyone else relaxing.
If everyone takes part in doing chores， you will finish them faster and have more fun.

Most teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members don’t understand them as well as their friends do. In large families， it is quite common for brothers and sisters to fight with each other， and then they can only go to their friends for some ideas.
It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. Even when they are not with their friends， they usually spend a lot of time talking on the phone. This communication(沟通) is very important in children’s growing up， because friends can discuss important things. These things are difficult to say to their family members.
