Show the suggested answers on the PowerPoint.

Suggestions to parents:

1. Never treat all your children alike, for they are not all alike. Children should be recognized as individuals.

2. It is best not to step in the children's conflict.

3. Try to spend some time alone with each child doing something that the child really enjoys.

4. Praise children for what they are, not just for what can do. Don't compare them to each other or to other children.

5. Let children know that you love them equally, though each in a different way.

6. Emphasize family unity.

Suggestions to children:

1. Parents love their children equally, though each in a different way.

2. No matter how unpleasant their behaviour may be, the sister and brother is still and will always be "one of us". The family always belongs to each other. They should love each other unconditionally.

T: From the text, we've learned a lot. Every family has conflict. Conflict is a normal part of life. But learning to resolve conflict is basic lessons in human relationships, including getting along with parents, sisters and brothers. Maybe your parents also need the advice. Please give the advice to them and there must be something they can learn.
