Mom and Dad are two of the most important people in your life. You probably see at least one of them every day and, over your lifetime, they influence you more than anyone else you will meet.
Mom and Dad need to care for their kids from the minute they are born. It's a parent's job to love and help kids and most parents will do this as possible as they can, even when the “kids” grow up and have children of their own. That means you have many years ahead to share with your mom and dad.
Here are some ways you can stay close, get along and build a strong relationship:
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 brighten a parent's day with a hug, a card, or a joke.

Kids and parents show their love by respecting each other, and being caring, polite and thoughtful.

Ⅵ.A helper at home
I have always been a good helper at home. As we all know, it's important to help parents do housework during our daily life.I can do a lot of housework at home, such as cooking meals, watering flowers, washing the dishes, looking after pets, taking out the rubbish and so on. I think watering the flowers makes me feel relaxed. When all kinds of flowers are around me, I feel the beauty of nature. I think life is as beautiful as flowers. I also like to look after pets.Because animals are our friends.Sometimes they seem to understand what we say. They will bring a lot of fun to our life.
By doing housework, we not only improve our life skills, but also improve our sense of responsibility. In a word, the more housework we do, the happier our parents will be.
