Honor Your Father and Mother

When was the last time you told your family that you loved them? Whatever your answer, do it today. 
Just spending a little time with parents shows that you care, shows that they are important enough that you've chosen out of all the things to do on your busy schedule to find the time for them. And if you go beyond that, and truly connect with them, through good conversation, that says even more. Many times its our actions, not just our words, that really speak what our hearts feel. Taking the time to connect with those you love will bring you true happiness. The more you do it, the happier you’ll be.
Have 10 minutes?
Call them up. A phone call is an easy way to connect with someone. It’s conversation, without the need for travel. What an invention! :)
Really focus on them
Don’t just spend time with parents but think about your work, or your blog, or the errands you have to run. Pay attention to them. Listen. Really be there, in that moment, with them. Because that’s a moment you’ll never get back, so spend it wisely.
Have a blast
Tell jokes, crack each other up, do something fun and spontaneous. Really have a great time!
Respect them
Consider and don't disrespect their opinions. Don't talk back to them. It's really quite rude to them and it makes them very upset. They are your parents. Treat them like it.
Tell them you love them
Make sure they know so. Tell them every night before bed, before work, after hanging up on the phone, and before you leave to do something, like go on a business trip.
Give them presents on birthdays
It's a sign of respect. It's a sign that you remember that they are there.
BEHAVE
Be nice and don't misbehave
