Silence isn't respect. Understanding is

Parents want respect but rarely ask themselves, Do I even understand my child? Since childhood, we are taught to not talk to elders. But when we make a mistake, we should remain quiet. Even then, we should bow down and accept that it's not respect. That's fear. Instead of understanding, we are judged. And when we talk, we are called attitude. Respect is only when there is understanding and space on both sides. Not only hierarchy. Parents need to understand that there are no silent values.
