On the other hand， I recently saw a scene unfold that proved to me how deeply disconnected we as Americans have become. I had just wrapped up a presentation on mediation at a family therapy (治疗) center.
As I was leaving， I noticed a mother and her teenage son who had just completed their session with their family therapist. After making their next appointment， they both took out their cell phones， placed calls， and began loud conversations with whoever was on the other end. I walked out behind them to the parking lot to my car. They both jumped into their cars， and， as I saw them drive off， they were still talking on their cell phones but not to each other.

April 27 is Take Our Daughters to Work Day in Britain. Started at first in the United States and brought to Britain in 1994， Take Our Daughters to Work Day has become a special day for girls between 11 and 15. On that day thousands of girls take a day off school and go together with one of their parents to their work places. The purpose of this day is to broaden girls‘ horizons（视野）and raise their self-confidence. 
For many years people have thought that boys can do better than girls in society. But actually， “girls can be whatever they want to be just like boys， whether it is a pilot， a nurse or a chief executive(主管).”says the chairman of the Our Sons and Daughters Charitable Trust， an organization which supported the activity of the Day. “Now the girls have a close look at what their parents are doing and this may help them to be more self-confident when they are faced with a choice of work.”
Schools and many companies support the activity too. PalmersGreenHigh School for girls in north of London， has made the day a necessary part of careers education.
Zarina Bart， 15， from Palmers Green， went with her mother Gwen to her Lawyer‘s office this year‘s Take Our Daughters to Work Day. ”I learned how to fill in a legal aid form and I read details of a case. Then I went to see the actual trial.” she said.
Zarina found it interesting to see her mother at work. “It‘s really strange seeing Mum at work--running around， getting serious and telling people what to do.”She has always liked this idea of going into law and thinks it likely that she will follow in her mother’s footsteps. Having a chance to see how her moth
er works has given her more self-confidence.
Experts believe that girls with higher self-confidence aim higher and are more likely to be successful in life. Parents have important effect on the confidence of teenage girls. If parents believe in their daughters and show examples both at work as well as at home for them， this will give a lot of help to girls. Take Our Daughters to Work Day is surely a step in the right direction.
