Here are four ways you can stay close: and build a strong relationship with your parents.

　　(1) Spend time together. How much time do you spend enjoying each other's company（陪伴）?

　　(2)Share your feelings and ask for help. Your mom or dad might not know that you're having a problem. Tell a parent if you're sad or struggling with something.
