Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Demonstrate good listening skills. Maintain a positive attitude. Steer clear of arguments. Ask questions. Talk to your parents about how they treat you.

Answer: Listening well is an important part of being perceived as an adult. Work on your listening skills to help your parents see you as a mature person. When you are listening to someone speak, maintain good eye contact, nod your head to show that you are hearing what the other person is saying, and use statements to express interest, such as "I see," "go on," and "yes." Frequent complaining and a negative attitude may make you appear less mature to your parents. To prove that you are mature, do your best to maintain a positive tone at all times. When telling your parents about your day, focus on the good things that happened and minimize the bad. Also ask them how their day has been, and if their day turns out to have been not so good, show sympathy. Avoid whining or making critical remarks as much as possible. These behaviors are seen as a mark of immaturity. Do your best to avoid getting into an argument with your parents. Although you may still have an occasional disagreement with your parents, do not instigate an argument if possible. Instead, do your best to be agreeable and compromise with your parents if something seems unfair to you. For example, if your parents have requested that you be home by 9pm, do not complain or accuse them of being unfair. Try saying something like, "I don't mind being home by this time most nights, but I was hoping to stay out a little later tonight. Would 10pm be alright?" If you do not understand the reasons behind something that your parents have asked you to do, then ask for clarification. Asking questions is a good way to improve communication and avoid unnecessary conflicts. Make sure that you phrase your question in a way that expresses what you need from them. For example, if you have a 9pm curfew, and you think it is unfair, try asking something like, "I know that you care about my safety, but I am still a little confused about why I have to be home by 9 tonight. Can you help me to understand why you want me home by then?" It is possible that you parents are not aware that they are treating you like a child, so you may need to just bring it up. Try talking to them about how they treat you and ask them if it would be possible for them to stop doing certain things. For example, you might say something like, "I appreciate how much you both try to help me, but I feel like I am old enough to take care of these things myself. Would you mind giving me a little more freedom to handle things on my own?"

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Do small daily activities to you normally wouldn't do. Change your usual habits to mix it up. Turn every day into a learning experience.

Answer:
Challenge yourself. Look for ways to step outside of your comfort zone by taking tiny actions. Once you've made stepping out of your comfort zone into a daily routine, it'll be much easier to handle bigger challenges. For example, you could start up a conversation with a stranger at the grocery store, listen to a new genre of music on your drive to work, or try a different flavored coffee in the morning. If you're stuck in a rut, break the pattern! Look for spots in your life that feel repetitive or monotonous. Target these as opportunities to step outside your comfort zone. For example, if you always order vanilla ice cream, go for caramel next time. Change the way you view your day-to-day life. Look at each day at a chance for you to learn something new. Remember that this can only happen if you're stepping outside your comfort zone. You can do this by always making an effort to find ways to grow. Start a book you've been meaning to read. Buy a different newspaper than the one you always read. Take a different route to get to work. You never know what you'll learn about the world when you explore different sides of it!
