"But I don't like being treated as though I'm too old. " Both of them feel a bit upset.
Have you ever had a similar argument with the people around you？Here are some tips for you to remember when you' re getting mad.
● Accept your feelings and consider the other person's feelings.That means not always making yourself "right" or "clever" and the other person "wrong" or "stupid".
● Explain yourself and not the other person，so you can speak out your ideas by starting with "I" but not "You. ".
● Don't always have to reflect before reacting（回应）.If you feel angry，I think it's a good idea to stop a moment and understand why.
●Don't decide the purpose of the other person by your guessing.Try to work out what he or she is feeling，and admit（承认）it if you were wrong.
Don't forget that it's never too late to start the ways of communicating.
