A. Caring for an older parent can be a difficult responsibility. Many adults feel “sandwiched,” caring for their parents and their children. Noticing that an aging parent is becoming increasingly forgetful and absentminded can be frightening. Mild changes in memory and other thinking skills are common as we age. For example, brief lapses in memory or attention – such as misplacing car keys or forgetting someone’s name – are usually not cause for concern. On the other hand, getting lost in familiar places, regularly burning food due to forgetting to turn off the stove or being unable to recall recent conversations could be signs of a more significant problem.

B. You play an important role as guide and coach for your children as they make choices about eating. And the effect your actions have can be profound. For example, research has shown that just eating together as a family can improve children’s nutritional health. In families who shared at least three meals a week, children were 24 percent more likely to be eating healthy foods than those in families who ate few or no meals together. Although the researchers don’t know for sure why family meals are so effective, they note that homemade meals are typically lower calorie. Plus, eating together lets adults model good behavior and interfere when behaviors threaten to become bad habits.

C. Mothers are the world’s best jugglers: family, work, money – they seem to do it all. However, all that responsibility can often leave moms feeling overstretched and stressed out. With Mother’s Day fast approaching, it’s a good time for moms and their families to recognize the importance of addressing stress and managing it in healthy ways. ‘How a mother manages stress is often a model for the rest of the family,’ says APA psychologist Lynn Bufka. ‘Other family members will imitate her unhealthy behavior. ’

D. Many people think that families become less important to children as they move into the teenage years. But research shows that your child needs your family and the support it offers as much as she did when she was younger. It’s true that family relationships change during adolescence. When your child was young, your role was to care and guide him. Now you might be finding that relationship with a child is becoming more equal. Most young people and their families have some ups and downs during these years, but things usually improve by late adolescence as children become more mature. And family relationships tend to stay strong right through.

E. All families get through hard times and it requires respectful communication and care for each other. However, some families face significant problems like not having a place to live, a parent going to court, a parent having a long-term illness, or parents having to work away from home or for long hours. Some families seem to fight and argue a lot, which can be really scary and stressful. Sometimes, family relationships can be so stressful you feel unsafe and scared. These types of things make relationships feel tense and negative and it can make it difficult to feel like talking things through. F. As you get older your relationships with family members may change, especially with your parents. For example, the more your parents ask about what is going on with you, the more you may want to keep to yourself. Or, the more advice you are given, the more you may think ‘have no idea’. If you think back to just a few years earlier, you might remember feeling OK about talking with your parents, and wanting them to be interested and to help you with your problems. So, what has changed? Why does talking with your parents feel so annoying or difficult?

G. Sometimes, when young people can’t live with their own families they live in foster care. Foster care is when you move out of your family home and live in another home with either a family which may consist of one or two parents and their children, or may just be one person who takes on the role of foster carer for you. This may be either for a short or longer time. Every young person deserves to be with a supportive and caring adult who will foster their growth.

A Chinese Virtue Is Now the Law

There are legends from folklore that are familiar to all Chinese schoolchildren. It is a tale about the Confucian follower who had to eat wild grass while travelling with sacks of rice to give them to his parents. But Chinese officials apparently think it is not enough these days to count on tales and parental caution to teach the young the importance of children’s devotion, the most treasured of traditional virtues in Chinese society.

The government initiated a law aimed at forcing adult children to visit their aging parents. The law, called “Protection of the Rights and Interests of Elderly People,” has nine clauses that lay out the duties of children and their obligation to tend to the “spiritual needs of the elderly. ”

Children should go home “often” to visit their parents, the law said, and occasionally send them greetings. Companies and work units should give employees enough time off so they can make parental visits.

The law was passed in December by the standing committee of the National People’s Congress. It does not demand any punishments for people who neglect their parents. Nevertheless, the fact that officials felt the need to make filial duty a legal matter is a reflection of the monumental changes taking place throughout Chinese society.

Many aging parents in China, as in other industrialized nations, complain these days about not seeing their children enough. And the children say the stresses of daily life, especially in the cities, prevent them from giving time for their parents.

“China’s economy is flourishing, and lots of young people have moved away to the cities and away from their aging parents in villages,” Dang Janwu, vice director of the China Research Center on Aging, said in a telephone interview on Tuesday. “This is one of the results of China’s urbanization. The social system can answer to material needs of the elders, but when it comes to the spiritual needs, a law like this becomes very necessary. ”
