    After reading this a few times, I believe that you are talking about adult children, not about toddlers. Because we use the word "children" to refer to both offspring and very young people, the context of your paragraph was difficult to understand. Therefore, I believe your Notebook would be better understood if the title was "How to best handle the relationship between adults and their parents". If this is your intent, I can help you better arrange those thoughts into sentences.

    How to best handle the relationship between parents and children

    How to best handle the relationship between parents and children

    No one can "can" is a modal auxiliary verb that requires another verb. Without it, this is an incomplete thought. "No one can <perform some action>" instead of parents. Parents raise us, and give us a lot. You probably want to be more specific here. "a lot" of what? You typically only use "a lot" when the subject is already known, like "he rides his bike a lot" or "They give us a lot of attention" When we <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">growed</s> have grown up, some<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">one</s> of us may have a rift <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204); color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">had a gap</s> with our parents. What should we do? How can we handle this relationship?
    In my opinion, there are two aspects: this is a logical place for a colon " : " <s>The</s> when you add "the" you reduce the audience to a very specific set of parents, but I think you mean all parents, generally, anywhere in the world. Therefore, you don't need "the". parents should be more open minded, but at the same time, children should try to <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204); color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">be</s> understand their parents better.
    All <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204); color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">the</s> parents want their children to be healthy and successful. <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">The</s> Parents <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">won't hurt</s> don't mean to harm their children; this is a good place to use a semicolon " ; " <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">their</s> they just want to protect <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">children</s> them. But sometimes they are too nervous about their children's <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">life</s> lives. Spoiling them <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">and not caring</s> without concern for the outcome can make children more and more separated from their parents <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">in future</s> later in life. Sometimes Why only sometimes? <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">the</s> parents should try to understand their children's ideas, and <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204); color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">try to</s> let them <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204); color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">children do</s> make their own mistakes. <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">It</s> This will <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">make the children better</s> better prepare the children for the challenges they will face in life.
    <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">The</s> Children must remember <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">when their was a baby</s> <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">the parents is so patient, we should never forget they bring us up</s> how patiently their parents raised them This was a challenging sentence to arrange correctly because the initial approach was different. You went from talking about "we" as children to "they" as children, and then back to "we" in the next sentence. You need to be consistent. No matter what <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">happended</s>, we should protect them<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">.</s> because they are our parents. Remember one thing: this is another ideal place for a colon " : " don't make<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">s</s> your parents angry. Let them rest. <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">And</s> Try to understand them. <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">parents,</s> They always want us to be safe and successful. This is a strange way to end the paragraph because you suggest that one should "remember one thing", but then you list three things. That is an odd choice. You could rearrange the sentences so that not angering one's parents is the final thought of the paragraph.
    Just understand each other. <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">D</s><s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">on't always just thinking about </s><s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">ourself</s><s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">, care more our family.</s> This is a strange sentence because it combines both second person understood, and first person: "you" and "ourselves" don't really belong in the same sentence. Since you start the paragraph with second person understood, you should stick with that, but it makes it odd to read. You should make the first sentence "we" instead of "you". Here is one way you might express the same idea: "We should care as much for our families as we do about ourselves."

    Please give me some help, thank you very much! :)

    My day

    Today I am very happy because I have improved my spoken English, and I have learned some new skills to express my opinion.

    Is there somebody who knows Alaska and nordic countries?

    Hi,

    I dream about travelling once in my life to Alaska but <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">sincerely</s> it's so far from my country (Spain). <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">and</s> It's a very expensive <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">holidays</s> holiday (U.K., Australia) vacation (U.S.)<s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">, first of all</s> because of the price of the ticket. When you use "first of all" or "firstly", then you must also provide additional points that support the assertion that the trip is expensive. You would say "firstly because of the ticket price, and secondly because of the equipment costs¨. Otherwise, just say that the ticket is expensive. Or you could say "mostly".
    I know that it would be easier travel to Nordic countries, but I don't think any of them look like Alaska.
    I'd like to watch the aurora borealis, practice sledding with huskies, go canoeing in lakes, relax in the saunas, and go sightseeing in the mountains, <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">and</s> but I'm not sure where could be best to do that in Europe in Europe would be best to do those activities. Maybe Finland?
    Hope you can help me please.

    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry I don't have an answer to your question, but at least we can work on grammar meanwhile. Even from the U.S., Alaska is a very expensive trip.

    The first two are both slightly wrong. Shape your patties so the outer one-third inch of the patty is slightly thicker than the middle. Shape your patties so the outer third of an inch of the patty is slightly thicker than the middle. The second pair are both correct. In the first example, "Inch" is a noun, and when you use "one-third" immediately before it as an adjective, it must be hyphenated. There was one-third inch of snowfall yesterday. In the second example, "of an inch of snowfall" is a prepositional phrase, and therefore, you do not hyphenate. There was one third of an inch of snowfall yesterday. This is a very specific grammar rule about which most native speakers have no idea, and many would get wrong if asked.

    It can be read two ways. The most likely way is your interpretation. "My mom used to throw rocks at me." That is assuming the rocks left the mom's hand, and the author was struck by the rock as a missile weapon. However, it can also mean that the rock was used as a blunt melee weapon as one would use a hammer. "Occasionally, my mom would pick up a rock and hit me with it." In this case, "rocks" would assume a continuing behavior that took place more than once over a span of time.
