亲爱的Hunt先生，
我的问题是我不能和家人和睦相处。我父母之间的关系变得困难了。他们经常打架，我确实不喜欢。它是他们唯一的交流。我不知道我是否应当对他们提起这个。当他们争吵时，它就像一大片乌云笼罩着我们的家。并且，我的哥哥对我也不友好。他总是拒绝让我看我最喜爱的电视节目，相反他晚上看他想看的到很晚。我认为这不公平。在家我总是感到孤独和焦虑。那正常吗？我怎么办？
亲爱的Sad and Thirteen，
在你这个年龄是不容易的，有这些感受是正常的。你为什么不和你的家人谈谈这些感受呢？如果你的父母遇到问题，你应该主动提供帮助。或许你可以在家里多做一些事情，以便他们有更多的时间进行适当的交流。其次，你为什么不坐下来和你的哥哥沟通呢？你应该（向他）说明你不介意他总是看电视。但是，他应该让你看你最喜欢的节目。我希望你的情况会很快的好起来。

或许你应该学会放松
如今，许多父母逼迫孩子学习更多技能。他们相信那有助于他们的孩子在生活中更有竞争优势。然而，如此忙碌的生活会给学生施加很大压力。
泰勒一家是一个典型的美国家庭。对于凯西泰勒的三个孩子来说，生活是非常忙碌的。‘’放学后的大多数日子，‘’凯茜说，‘’我送我两个儿子中的一个去进行篮球练习，送我的女儿去进行橄榄球训练。然后我得送我的另一个儿子去上钢琴课。或许我可以减掉他们的几个活动，但是我相信这些活动对我的孩子们的将来很重要。我真的想让他们成功。‘’然而，疲惫的孩子们直到晚上七点以后才回到家。他们快速吃过晚饭，接着又到了做家庭作业的时间了。
琳达米勒，一位三个孩子的母亲，深知这样的压力。“在一些家庭中，孩子很小的时候竞争就开始了，并且持续到孩子们长大，”她说道，“妈妈们送他们的小孩去上各种各样的（学习）班。并且她们总是把他们和别的孩子对比。这是不理智的。我认为那还不公平的。她们为什么不能让孩子就做孩子呢？人们不应该把自己的的孩子逼得太紧。”
医生们说太多的压力不利于孩子的发展。艾丽斯格林医生说所有的这些活动会对孩子们造成许多压力。“孩子们也应该有时间放松，去想想自己的事情。尽管想要孩子成功是正常的（愿望），但更重要的是要孩子快乐。”
