Be obedient to parents. As children grow up, parents begin to mold their disciplinary and emotional qualities by setting rules and requiring chores. Children can honor their parents by following the set rules in the household and completing chores on time.

Celebrate important dates in the parent's life. All parents have birthdays, anniversaries and holidays (mother's day and father's day) that are important to them. Children can honor their parents by remembering these days and doing something special. For birthdays and holidays, give personable gifts, within your budget, that show appreciation. Even homemade cards, clothing and other crafts will mean the world to your parent.

Be affectionate towards your parents. Exhibiting affectionate behavior tells your parents you love and appreciate them for all they've done. Say "I Love You" during phone calls and other opportune moments. Give your parents hugs when greeting them, and say "thank you" occasionally. A parent will feel loved and honored upon being showered with sincere affection.
