Why children should take care of their parents?
I don't think it's a matter of SHOULD. A lot of kids WANT to because they love their parents. Parents make a lot of sacrifices so that their children can have better tools in life to be successful. Not only that, but in good relationships, there is a bond with a parent like you will never have with anyone else. They are your foundation to a good life, no matter how bad things get, they are there for you and will always love you. I once heard: "Mother is like God in the eyes of a child". I felt that way when I was a young child, and I've never felt that way about anyone else since...that is special, and it should make people WANT to take care of their parents.
How much power should parents have over their children?
I agree with a previously poster - there is a big difference between power and authority. Parents have authority in that they can make all major decisions for their child, choose a school, decide whether their child should have pocket-money, etc. But with authority comes responsibility, and in fact a parent’s authority is derived from the fact that they continue to meet those responsibilities. Those include ensuring a child is fed, clothed and appropriately cared for, ensuring the child attends school (in the UK at least, parents can be fined for their children playing truant), and of course teaching and encouraging their child to help them grow up into a sensible and respectable adult.Authority (and legal responsibility) for a child ends at age 18. However, that’s not to say that a parent ought to demonstrate an equal amount of authority over a 17 year old as a 5 year old! A good parent knows when and how to slacken the reins on their child, and when to allow them to have more responsibility and authority over their own life. It’s a balancing act that depends hugely on society, personal belief and upbringing, and it’s very very easy to get it wrong.
What should parents NEVER say to their children?
I never wanted you anyway. I wish I never had you. I wanted a boy/girl ( whichever the child is not) It's all your fault. It's all your mother/father's fault. You're just like ( some person the parent hates) You're such a loser. Normal children don't do that. There's something wrong with you. You disgust me. I can't cope with you.
Should children obey parents?
It is generally agreed that children obey their parents. Why is this so? Under what circumstances might a parent not deserve obedience from his or her child? Whenis a young person old enough to replace blind obedience with independent thought?
Should parents choose their child's spouse?

Why should children listen to their parents?
NOTE: Ok, this question was originally “Should children listen to their parents? Why?” so…..my answer might sound weird to the *current* question.In terms of life opinions:“Isabella, Trump is saving the USA. You should support him.”“Isabella, gay marriage is wrong. It’s just…wrong.”-In terms of….me:“Skinny jeans and a crop top? Isabella, what you’re wearing is slutty. Go be a whore, fine.”“You missed a chopstick while cleaning out the dishwasher!!! Isabella, you are damn useless.”“This shirt I bought for you three years ago doesn’t fit? Isabella, you are fat.”“a 90 on the math test??!!! Isabella, you are an idiot.”And most prominent:“Isabella, look at everyone else. They’re all doing something with their life. And look at you.”-“Just give up.”-Yeah. You tell me.EDIT: Holy Moly, 800. Well that’s a first.
Should adult children phone their parents or should the parents phone them?
If you had a good relationship with your parents when you were growing up, then there isn’t any question of who calls who. You both do so approximately equally. It’s my experience that one parent gets most of the calls, but they tell the stories to the other one, so it counts as calling both parents.If your parent is always nagging you to call, it’s a signal either that they are extremely bored, or that you aren’t very attached to them. This second situation is unfortunate, but it probably isn’t your fault.I personally was in touch with my mom a couple times a week. I could gripe about stuff to my mom that I couldn’t even tell my wife. It was a very positive outlet. She died 10 years ago, and I still find myself thinking, “Gotta remember to tell mom that next time we talk.”
At what age should parents start to teach their children about the physical differences between boys and girls
I disagree with ppl who are telling you to wait until they ask. As a child, I didn't ask my parents anything... then an older boy in the neighborhood decided to molest me. I had no idea that boys were different than me... and was about 7 yrs old at that point. I think the earlier the better.
