It's often said that children are the apple of their parents' eyes. As a son or daughter,you may also want to make your parents proud. Here are certain things you can do.
Talk to Them As Often As You Can
Every parent wants their children to trust them enough to talk to them when they are happy and when they are feeling low. Therefore, don't be afraid to call your parents when you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders, just as the same way you would call them when happy. Share your achievements, both big and small. Your parents are your biggest cheerleaders.
Have Patience with Them
One of the best things you can do for your parents is to be patient with them, which makes them feel loved and appreciated. As they grow older, you need to understand that they become slower or may do things differently from the way they used to. Therefore be patient with them.
Be Helpful
If you live at home, you can be a good son or daughter by helping around with housework. Start by making sure that your parents don't have to clean for you. Keep your room tidy and help to keep other areas of the home clean. Help with washing, make dinner and even set the table. Helping around make sure they have time to rest and do other things.It feels good when they know they have someone who can keep things together at home.
Respect Them
You can do everything on this list, but without respecting your parents, nothing else you do matters. When they are talking, you listen and do pot interrupt(打断) them. If you have done wrong, apologize and avoid repeating the same mistake again. When you are out with friends, call your parents and let them know you're okay. When you show them respect, it can go a long way in strengthening your relationship with them.
