So if your mom loves to read, you just might grow up carrying a book wherever you go, just like she does.But parents do a lot more than just passing on their hobbies. Moms and dads care for their kids from the minute they were born. They are the people we should respect and love best. Its very important to stay close, get along, and build a strong relationship with your parents. But not every child knows how to do this. Here are some ways to help you:Spend time together.
