<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

First, I'm not a parent. 

I've been in a bit of a dilemma for a while now and was hoping to get some advice from parents. 

My parents are the type that gave me things, pay for my education, room and board, new car, tennis lesson, etc. They do a lot of things for me. But, psychologically and emotionally, they are not there for me that often. We don't talk about emotions, feelings, life, etc. They taught me math but never really instilled any values or morals in me. (I turned out fine, I'm not a bad person). Thats just how I was raised. No parent is perfect and they did their best so this is not at all me being ungrateful.

My sister is 11 now. She is at a very impressionable age. And while I can't change the way my parents raised me to make me a more emotionally healthy person (which I know I'm not... completely), I can see the same starting go happen to my sister. 

So on one hand, I want to tell my parents, "don't do this, say this more, etc", but the fact is, thats exactly how I was raised. But I feel like if I bring this up, its like me saying "you guys did this all wrong with me, now do better with her". 

I want the best for my sister, I want her to be more emotionally healthy than I am. But I don't live at home. My parents won't/can't just change over night. Especially not on something like this. I don't even remember the last time my parents and I had a heart-to-heart conversation about anything. (Which, I fully realize is going to be the most common suggestion... but you have to understand, conversations like this are not natural for us)

Any suggestions?
<bot>: As a 24 year old, I realized my parents shortcomings. Now, I want to make sure my 11 year old sister gets a better childhood and upbringing. But don't know how to go about that.
