Allah has given a grand status to parents. He explicitly orders children to be good to their parents in countless verses of the Quran, and they are many hadiths and hadith literature about being good and kind to one's parents. This should be enough for children to realize the station of their parents and to motivate them to take care of their rights, ad understand that this is a grand matter. Being dutiful your parents and treating them with excellence is the way to enter Paradise. Causing them pain, grief, disobedience, and mistreatment is the way to Hell and the punishment begins in this life before the next. That is why Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said heaven and hell are both your parents.
Abu Umamah narrated that a man said: “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), what are the rights of parents over their child?” He said: “They are your Paradise and your Hell.” – [Sunan Ibn Majah]
