Parents can look like people who know everything and never get things wrong.
In fact, they get overloaded by work and home, they hesitate, and they make mistakes. Some days they're struggling and just don't say so.
Because They Aren't Perfect, You Can Talk
If you think someone never makes mistakes, it's hard to admit your own. Knowing your parents also get lost makes talking a little easier. The things that went wrong are easier to say early.
Try asking "do you have a minute?" first. You get heard better when their hands are free.
Some Days You Can Help Them
If you weren't heard today, try again at a different time. Sometimes it's the timing, not the topic.
It doesn't have to be big. Carry the plates, take your bath first, keep things quiet. That already helps.
Ask someone at home, "How was your day?"
At Digital Kodomo BASE, we think families help each other both ways.
