Almost half of Chinese parents play with their mobile phones while talking with their children, according to a new survey.

一項新的調查顯示，近一半的中國家長在和孩子聊天時玩手機。

The survey of 4,170 primary and middle school students in six cities was conducted by China Youth and Children Research Center, New Channel Family Education Research Institute and New Family Education Research Institute.

這項針對六個城市的4170名中小學生的調查，是由中國青少年研究中心、新航道家庭教育研究院、新家庭教育研究院聯合開展的。

It found that 8 percent of parents often play with their mobile phones when talking with their children and 40 percent sometimes pick up their phones when communicating with them.

調查發現，在與孩子交談時，8%的家長會經常使用手機，而40%的家長會在與孩子交流時拿起手機。

More than 40 percent of children said their parents do not pay enough attention to them while they are talking, according to the survey.

根據該調查，超過40%的孩子表示，父母在他們說話的時候沒有給予他們足夠的關注。

The top five topics in parent-student communication are study, what happened in school, interests and hobbies, friends, and the child's future.

家長與孩子交流的前五個話題是學習、學校裏發生了什麼、興趣愛好、朋友以及孩子的未來。

Sun Hongyan, from the China Youth and Children Research Center, said interaction between parents and children has changed a great deal in the digital age and the use of electronic devices has become one of the main reasons for parent-child conflicts.

中國青少年研究中心的孫紅豔稱，在數字時代，父母和孩子之間的互動已經發生了很大的變化，電子設備的使用已經成爲父母和孩子衝突的主要原因之一。

Children often resort to the internet to talk to others when they do not have enough communication with their parents, she said, advising parents to treat children in an equal and sincere manner, listen to them, respect them and maintain eye contact while talking.

她表示，當孩子們與父母沒有足夠的交流時，他們會經常求助於互聯網與他人交談。孫紅豔建議父母在交談時應以平等和真誠的態度對待孩子，傾聽他們的心聲，尊重他們，並保持眼神交流。
