Understand that I am growing up and changing very fast. It must be very difficult to keep peace with me, but please try. Listen to me and give me brief, clear answers to my questions. And I will keep sharing my thoughts and feelings. Reward me for telling the truth, so I am not frightened into lying. Tell me when you make a mistake and what you have learned from them. Then I can accept that I am ok even when I make a mistake. Pay attention to me and spend time with me. Then I can believe that I am important and worthwhile. Do the things you want me to do, so that I have a positive role model. Trust and respect me. Even thought I am smaller than you. I have feelings and needs too, just like you.
你要明白，我正在长大，因而多变——和我友好相处，一定是件难事吧。可是，请你，一定尝试。请倾听我，用简洁明晰的话语回答我。这样，我将一直，一直与你分享我的看法和感受。请珍视我道出的真实：我便不会因恐惧而撒谎。当你犯错时，请告诉我，把经验和教训分与我。那么在闯下大祸时，我便不会惊慌失措。请关心我，多花些时间陪伴我。我将因此知道，我的存在，不但重要，也富有价值。我需要身教言传——一个良好的榜样。请信任我，也请尊重我。尽管我涉世未深——可我同样有自己的感受和看法——就像你一样。
