Children must obey their parents, just as God's children must do all He tells us. This is why family structure and authority is important to God - it reflects how we relate to Him. This brings life and not consequence. So parents, fathers in particular as the head, must raise children to know and fear The Lord, to include reproof and punishment with warning and exhortation.
Ephesians 6:1-4
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “ Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: 3 “ that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.” 4 And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
