Question

4．A．Create family traditions．
B．Remember the 80/20 rule．
C．Insist on family celebrations．
D．Crcate opportunities for talking．
E．Use technology to your advantage．
F．Go on individual dates with your children．

It's no secret that nowadays a majority of parents are overworked，overcommitted and overscheduled．Kids would rather text their friends than chat with Mom or Dad，．which leads to a family communication crisis．Want to improve your family's communication skills？Try following these simple steps．
61．D
Make time for talking by reducing the number of activities your family is involved in each week-the time it frees up for communication will be invaluable．And if you do find yourself in the car running from place to place，make a point to turn off the radio，the cell phones and the personal game players，and use that opportunity to catch up on the day's activities．
62．F
Spending time with each of your children lets them know that they matter and aren't getting lost in a busy day or large family．Older teens might enjoy going out for a hamburger or a latte at their favorite coffee place．Younger children often enjoy going to the supermarket，especially when you let them select their favorite cereal or special dessert．Please remember，regularly making such arrangements can keep the relationship healthy．
63．B
When you are trying to improve any relationship，listening is far more important than talking，so when it comes to family communication，listen four times longer than you speak．Similarly，think twice about what you say before you say it．Sometimes a parent's first reaction is to rant and scream，especially to negative news．Do your best to avoid this，and if you do verbally explode before your child is finished，apologize quickly and assure him or her that you're now ready to listen
64．E
If the family computer's been relegated to homework duties or surfing the Web，why not put it to work by creating a family newsletter that you publish monthly？Ask everyone in the family to contribute"articles"and information about themselves．Then print out a copy for each person and hand deliver it．This would be especially helpful to families that find keeping in touch more difficult as the kids grow up and move away．
65．A
Setting up a family movie night，attending religious services or creating special holiday treats are all examples of family traditions．Family members come to expect and appreciate these traditions，seeing them as opportunities to come together as a unit．If your family is short on traditions，there's no reason you can't start some now．Why not set up a bowling night once a month？Or grow a family garden？Or visit the same spot every year for summer vacation？
