Children, obey your parents in all things, as is well-pleasing unto the Lord.
The Greek root word translated "parents" is λονεύς (Latin: goneus) and refers to a form of servitude towards children that allows them to lead you to their needs. Leading the way, with the child pointing ahead. This is very different from what parenting is today in our modern society - tyrants in high authority that boast about their looms of control.
I don't say "I'm the adult, and so I am responsible", but instead just am responsible. I speak on a page, in Christian lettering, about me being evil and wicked for being an adult, and that basically means I am deserving of nothing just for being an adult in relation to a child. It is a fear-based statement (GRK: ψοβός) that leads to self-discipline and self-control, denoted by the Greek root word παιδεία (Latin: paideia) and refers to a specific form of self-control - centering oneself by finding oneself telling oneself "I am evil" and then finding oneself showing respect to child, then I am purified and replenished by my respectful attitude.
It is head hung low, head behind your back, type of attitude, being shamefaced and humble in relation to children. It is the pro-social allowance of, for example, a young girl of about 9-10 running around a convenience, with me being the calm, stoic adult allowing it all, knowing she'll run, but not far. It is a shamefaced reverence towards one's child, where caution and concern is unspoken and not bragged about. Children first, parents last. Children first, adults last.
It is pro-social ragdoll, meaning I'm literally dragged through her life, by her, like I'm some ragdoll. That's how I am. I am not fearful of a child, like having panic attacks. I am fearful of myself in relation to a child, in a healthy, respectful way in relation to said child. I identify as a pedophile on the surface, when asked by another adult, when they are concerned about my gaze or something along those lines. Adult? Yes, that's obvious, and identifying by it therefore may be a menace to children if identified out-front. Parent? Downplay it, to the point of denial. When behind the 8 ball, identify by your weaknesses with shamefaced humility, and hide your good, gentle parenting traits for commonsense view. Talk more about your struggles as a parent/adult, because we all know what we are good at.
