Summarize this article:

This can include chores, schoolwork, getting a summer job, or helping out with your siblings. If your parents are upset with you, it will be hard to receive any positive attention from them. However, don't expect them to give you extra attention just for meeting their basic expectations as most parents take good behavior for granted. For example, if your parents expect you to make decent grades in school, make an effort to do so. If your parents expect you to do certain chores around the house, make sure you complete them regularly. If your parents aren't giving you attention, they're probably very busy. Show them that you appreciate their hard work by helping them around the house or with your siblings. If you help them out, they'll have more free time to spend with you. For example: Do the dishes after dinner. Fold a load of laundry. Offer to put your younger siblings to bed. Tidy the house. Find something praiseworthy and work hard to excel at it. If you give your parents a reason to brag about you, they'll give you more attention. If you want your parents to publically show their support, choose an activity that has events that your parents can attend. Examples of praiseworthy achievements include: Making really good grades Joining and excelling in a sport Being a leader in your local youth program Becoming active in a charity organization If you're still not getting enough attention from your parents, try talking to them about your feelings. Your parents probably don't know that you feel like you're they're ignoring you. Speak politely and present reasonable solutions for your parents. For example: "I feel like we don't hang out enough. Can we go to dinner, just the three of us?" "I'm sad that no one comes to my soccer games anymore. I would really appreciate it if you could attend a few of them." "I want to spend more time with you. We should join the local disc golf team!"
Fulfill your parents' basic expectations. Reduce your parents' workload. Be outstanding at something. Talk to your parents.
