Here are some tips in keeping a good relationship with the children:

• Apply a democratic parenting in which the communication between parents and children is going in both directions. This will make the parents understand the ability of the child, and the child can understand the will of their parents.

• Interact frequently with the child in any case such as while playing, studying in the house driving to the school, or going to bed. Accompanying the child in all things can make him know that his parents are very fond of him.

• No matter how busy your work, take time for your kids. Many cases happen where a child is being naughty or caught up with the wrong crowd simply because they do not get the attention of the family.

• Penalties or punishment sometimes are necessary to be given when the kid is breaking the rules seriously.
