Question

Mom and dad are the most important people in your life, and they’re likely to influence you more than anyone else in your lifetime. It’s a parent’s job to love and guide kids, and most parents will do this as long as they live. 1. Here are four ways you can stay close, get along, and build a strong relationship.

Spend time together. It might be easy to be physically in the same place with your mom and dad. 2. Instead of playing a computer game or watching TV by yourself, maybe you should ask your mom and dad to play with you. You can go outside together, try a board game, or read a book together.

3. Many kids say they would like their parents to help them when they’re upset. But your mom and dad might not know that you’re having a problem. Tell your parents if you’re sad or struggling with something. If you don’t usually do this, give it a try and you will be glad.

Be kind. Little things might mean a lot to your mom and dad. 4. It’s also lovely when a kid offers to help fold the laundry or cleans up his or her room without being asked. And if you try not to fight with your brothers or sisters, your parents might be so excited!

Show your care. Some families are always kissing, hugging, and saying “I love you” 5. In addition to kisses and hugs, kids and parents can show their love by respecting each other, being caring, polite, and thoughtful.

A. But how much time do you spend just enjoying each other’s company（陪伴）?

B. It’s important to show that you care for each other.

C. But parents do a lot more than just pass down their hobbies.

D. Share your feelings and ask for help.
