We should respect our Parents

What is the role of the parents? It becomes clearer when we think of our own parents and their influence on us as a person. Parents are the fountains of our lives. They are our precious gems. They are the sun and moon in our world, in our family.
It’s effortless to take our parents for granted. We forget the sacrifices they’ve made for us, and the effort it takes to raise happy, healthy children.
Be regardful, and appreciate all the things that your parents do for you from day to day, month to month, year to year
Remember that your parents love you more than anything else in the world, have high expectations of what they want you to achieve because they believe in you and want to see you be at your best as you become an adult.
When at times you feel that your parents don’t listen or don’t take you seriously, take a moment to think about what you want them to know and discuss your problems calmly with them and make sure you listen to their side of the story. Avoid arguments with them even if sometimes they seem unfair. Your parents make a lot of sacrifices for you, so reward their efforts with gratitude, obedience and a positive respectful attitude.
If you have younger siblings, help them with their homework and their chores, be a model of good behavior for them and try to encourage their obedience to you just as you are obedient to your parents. This will help build a strong and loving family structure for your whole family.
Parents are also very important in children´s education. They are an example, probably the most important, for becoming an adult. We all are, in certain way, very similar to our parents; we all have behaviors, or tastes, or hobbies that we learnt from our parents. It´s important to remember this when we have our own child; he´s going to imitate our many things, no matter they are good or bad things. As parents we have to realize the responsibility we have of teaching our sons and daughters the best we can.
Remember that one of the most significant things you can do for your parents is to be a loving person. Parents by nature need to know and feel that their children have a great love for them. Be affectionate and give them just as many hugs and kisses as they give you, and do it as often as you wish. There never need be a special occasion reserved for doing this. Love costs nothing, and you can and should want to give it freely. It's what all parents hope and wish for from their beloved children, and I promise you this, the warm feeling you get in your heart for such acts as these last a lifetime.
