Do you really want to be friends with your kids? Then try to improve your relationship. Talk to them more often.

Kids like when their parents treat them well and appreciate it when someone talks to them.

1. I like who and what you are
Why don’t you let your children know you love them by saying you like and appreciate them? They do need to hear it from you more often.

2. Thank you
Respect you children and they will respect you back. Say ‘thank you’ if they do something good or useful. Let them know you appreciate their effort.
