Sometimes, we think our parents cannot understand us and they get in the way of our happiness. Parents are next to God in this world. They are the most respectable persons. Good behavior is something all parents want and expect from their children. They gave us birth and we are able to see the beautiful world. They reared us when we were completely helpless. However, we should not forget that our parents love us, and all they want is the best for us. So, you must learn how to behave with them. First of all, respect and abide by them. You need to respect their authority as the heads of the household. Don’t do anything which may hurt them. That is why it is your responsibility to obey their house rules unless you want to move out and live on your own. Always take time to thank your parents for their sacrifices and everything they do for you. You can never repay them for all they have done for you.
Help them in their works. Nurse them when they are sick. Feed them when they get old. Don’t be rude, cruel, or harsh with them. At times when they seem to be very strict, they just want to protect us from possible harm. Talk to them politely. Don’t irritate them. Arguing with your parents is commonplace, almost a rite of passage, even. It’s easy to cross the line in the heat of the moment, but regularly acting disrespectfully to your parents can damage your relationship with them. Be friendly and frank with them. Don’t lie with them. Don’t raise your voice while talking to them. When you have misunderstandings with your parents, be humble even if you think it is not your fault. Be the first one to reach out and apologize. Your parents are only humans, and they make mistakes too. Do not embarrass them by making fun of their slip-ups. Avoid saying foul words, especially when your parents are around. You should also be courteous when talking to them.
Be open-minded about the generation gap between you and your parents. Therefore, if you want to be more understanding of your parents, you should start by thinking positively about them. Always put your family, especially your parents, above other people. Friends and boyfriends/girlfriends may come and go, but your family is forever. Be thankful for your parents’ love and sacrifices for you. They deserve to be loved and honored in return.
