Step 4: Summary

Make a conclusion: Growing pains can be very painful if we do nothing to understand others and make others understand us. Try to let your parents know how you feel and care your parents’ feeling, too. In this class we have talked about the difficulty in growing up. We have a warm discussion about the pictures and the problems happening to children and their parents. From this class we know out parents’ love is rue and selfless. Now I give you your homework—write a few words to your parents from you deep heart, which can express your love to your parents. Step 5: Homework

Ask students to write one of their experiences, enjoyable or painful, on their exercise books.
