While Yudi and Shiva are good parents they fail to realise the necessity of love and time for their teenage children. Here are some tips that the parents can follow to create a strong bond with their kids.

• Be your kids friend : Parents need to understand that the children want them as their friends, so that they can confide in them and tell them about whatever is going on in their lives.

• Be there for your kids : Parents should spend time with their kids instead of ignoring them like Yudi does. They must know when their children need them.

Hum Tum Aur Them

• Listen to them : Parents must listen carefully to what their child is saying even if it might sound stupid, this helps in boosting the child’s confidence and helping them become self-sufficient.

• Share your experiences : Parents must also share their own stories and make their children realise that they are also normal human beings and they too made mistakes.

Hum Tum Aur Them

• Ask for their help so they feel responsible: The children need accountability and want to be asked for opinions, decisions and choices. This helps them feel like they are a part of the family.
