Most of the parents appreciate every little things from their children. It doesn't matter what kind of gifts or how much the gifts are, the most important thing for them is the fact that they're not forgotten by their loved ones. Material things can only bring happiness for a short period of time. Love, respect and care from their children are enough to make them really happy.

I don't know what to guess, actually. What I know is only our respectful (hugs) as a son to my parents and money giving as a gift although they are not asking for it. Money needed because they wanted to give back to all of their grandchildren and very less intention for their own use.

Hello zhouxi. What our parents really need is our love and company to them. I think that it is exactly the same with us children when we were small. You see, when we were small, we used to cling to our parents and once they were away from us, we would not be happy. As to material stuff, it is something different from being their company.

As I am also already a parent, I think what our parents need more is an appreciation from their children. That they did a good job in raising their children. That the kids know that the parents gave everything within their means to provide for a good life.

It is obvious that it is unnecessary to buy something to our parents and say hello to them. As children, we don't realize of what our parents really need.
In my opinion, what our parents need is the care from children instead of all physical objects. Usually, for the work or other reasons, children often have to keep away from parents. When meeting some holiday, they may visit their parents with some spare time. But after a meal, children have to leave their parents alone.
If we children can keep a call every other several days, our parents will feel happy and enjoy a better time with the care from children.

Hi zhouxi,
in my opinion, The parents just need love and attention their hildren.
They expect their children children to pay ettention as when they were children small. Be the most important needs of parents is their children's attention. The will be happy than anything when their children so concerned. So you give more attention to them, then you will know what the needs are most needed by them...

I think physical objects or money are not that important, our parents need our care and accompany. Sometimes just a telephone call can make them happy. Sometimes a visit can also make them happy too. I always try to call my parents at least once a week, sometimes just to see if they have anything to talk to me. They will feel happy when you call, perhaps that shows that we still remember them, we still care for them. Also, I try to visit my parents as often as I can. One more thing I realize that, after my baby was born, they are really happy playing with my baby. I can always see their laughter faces whenever they are with the baby. Perhaps getting married and having baby make them happy too! haha~~
