Here are some ways you can stay close，get along，and build a strong relationship（关系）．

Spend time together．Don't play a computer game or watch TV by yourself．Ask your mom and dad to play with you，go outside together，play a game，or read a book out loud．Try to spend more time together．

Share your feelings and ask for help，Many kids say they'd like their parents to help them when they're unhappy．Tell them if you're sad or have a problem．They'll be happy to help you．

Be kind and caring．Little things might mean a lot to your mom or dad．You can brightena parent's day with a hug，a card，or a joke．It's also lovely when a kid cleans up his or her room without being asked．It's important to show that you care for each other．Kids and parents show their love by respecting（尊重）each other，and being caring，polite and thoughtful．

Do your best at whatever you do．You don't have to be perfect，but when you do your best，you make your parents proud．It makes them happy to see how you're turning into such a great kid．Why？Beacuse it lets them know you're doing a good job．
