Parents who are healthy welcome the use of healthy authority in the young person. The older a young person becomes the more independence he should have if all things are equal. Obedience to parents is a commendable ideal to God. Obey your parents. Parents are not to exasperate their children.
Parents can provoke their children by perpetual censure or fretful anger.
They may nag their children about inconsequential things. They rub them the wrong way. Parents possess authority in their role. God does not want them to exercise uncontrolled authority. Sever discipline makes children bitter and exasperates their personhood.
