It is excellent point, Barry, as Popa said. Yes, we do have to set the right example & try to treat our own parents with respect.. be honest etc.
But the last bit about ‘most of the time…reflection of .. parents’ is not true in real life, at least IMHO.
Parents need to do their best, but at the end of the day, each child is born with their own bechira.
This idea of ‘most of the time’ reminds me of the myth in the world where every time a kid goes off the derech, it’s the parents’ fault, & every time a kid has problems, it’s the parents fault.
Yes, a parent’s input can make a huge impact on their kids’ lives, but many other factors can too.
Wishing e/o S”D with bringing their kids up.
