Parents with high expectations for their children are nothing new to Chinese kids. However, people often don't realize that children also have expectations for their parents. China Youth & Children Research Center did a survey in four countries.
The survey found that 83.8% of Chinese children want to be friends with their parents— the greatest amount(数量) among the four countries.
Sophia Ren, 13, has her own thoughts about the subject. Ren is an ABC, or American-born Chinese. Although her family lives in California, they cannot avoid the influence of their Chinese background. "I feel like my friends are closer to their parents. " Ren said. "In Chinese families, you usually don't do things like that."
According to China Youth Daily, traditional Chinese values are stopping parents from becoming friends with their children. As children, what can you do to make home a happy place and make friends with your parents? Here are some tips.

Here is some cool information about the world's population.
| It took 12 years for the world's population to grow from 7 billion to 2022's 8 billion. But it will take about 15 years for the population to reach 9 billion. That's because fewer babies are born now. In 50 years, this can slow the growth of the world's population. |
The day on which the world's population grows by one billion is important. The United Nations chooses a baby born on that day as the symbolic (象征的) baby. For example, the world's population reached 8 billion on November 15, 2022. Vinice Mabansag was born on that day and she became the symbolic 8 billionth baby. | |
More boys than girls are born around the world. There are 106 baby boys born for every 100 baby girls. There are 1.8 billion people between the ages of 10 and 24. That's the largest number ever. |
