How to Make Your Dad Happy
Everybody wants a healthy relationship with their dad. When your dad is happy with you, you'll get the best treatment from him and most likely be happy too. By focusing on the way you interact(相互交流) with your dad and the things you do in life, you can achieve a happy family relationship.
It can be difficult to spend time with your dad, especially during school days as your schedule is busy and your dad is at work. Making that extra effort to spend time with him and share your opinions and thoughts will strengthen the bond between you. Try to have at least one meal with him in a day. This can be a great time to talk and discuss the events of the day.
Consider asking your dad for advice on school work or friendships or matters of finance if you have or are seeking a job. This will show him his opinion matters. Even if your dad doesn't have experience with a certain situation, he can still give you advice on how to deal with it or where you can best learn how to deal with it.
Messy rooms are a common complaint (抱怨) among parents. Even if you don't share your room and it's your space, show your dad that you can shoulder the responsibility of taking care of what's yours by keeping it neat and tidy.
Show your father you want to succeed in life by performing well at school. Try to complete all your assignments on time and to the best of your ability. If there's something you don't understand, ask your teachers to explain again, provide further resources for learning or ask a friend to explain it to you.
Show your dad that you're a good judge of character. Befriend(友善对待) people who you see do well in school. Look for those that have a good reputation (名声) with others and their teachers and who perform highly in class and whom you think have good character and stay out of trouble. You might learn from them and being friends with them might help keep you out of trouble too.
