Parents are sometimes hard to understand. At times they may seem to say or do things that don’t make sense. But almost always they are doing what they believe is best for you.
It can sometimes feel like it’s hard to talk to your parents. Parents often don’t seem to listen to children.
But if you are honest and tell them how you really feel, and listen to what they have to say as well, you will usually be able to understand each other.
Remember, most parents really love their children. Try to help your parents when you can. Parents really like it when children offer to help them. Even if they say no to the help, they still like that you offer it.
You must remember that your parents are the only parents you have. You can get along with them and you should do what you can to love and help them.
The way to happiness includes loving and helping the people who bring you up.

I help my mom wash the dishes, throw the trash and clean after myself. I now understand that it is a lot for my parents and I see them very tired from working very often. I feel good that I help and I think my parents are proud of me.
