"Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord." (Col. 3:20)

Notice this wisdom from a Poster Board: "Attention Teenagers - If you are tired of being hassled by unreasonable parents, now is the time for action! Leave home and pay your own way while you still know everything!"

It seldom occurs to teenagers that someday they will know as little as their parents. They will probably be accused by their own teenagers of not knowing anything, just as they charged their own parents. It was Mark Twain who said, "Once I was in my twenties, I began to be amazed at how much my parents had learned."

Children need to obey their parents because the Lord so requires it.
