While arguing with parents may not be the most ideal situation, it can be a valuable opportunity for students to practice and develop their English Language Arts skills. Encourage them to continue to engage in debates and discussions with family and friends, and to seek out opportunities to participate in public speaking events or debate clubs. Additionally, encourage them to read and analyze persuasive texts, such as speeches or opinion articles, to further develop their critical thinking and persuasive writing skills.
