Top 10 Social Essays on Children's Responsibility to Parents

“Father's merit is like Mount Thai Son
Mother's virtue is like water flowing from a source”

From ancient times, Vietnamese people have lived by the principle of filial piety. Filial piety plays a crucial role in human life regardless of the era, and as children, we need to be responsible to our parents. Filial piety demonstrates a good moral character that we should possess; it is an obligation that we must fulfill. It also serves as a measure to evaluate the qualities and ethics of a person. Each of us, being born, nurtured, and educated, owes a great debt to our parents. When receiving, we must give back, repaying those beautiful contributions and affections in the most complete way. While our parents are healthy, as children, we must express love, worship, and respect. We should take care of our parents, helping with medicines when they are old and frail. Living with filial piety not only brings happiness to our families but also creates an essential foundation for building solidarity, spreading the message of good ethics, and positivity in society. However, in today's society, there are still ungrateful children, abandoning and hastily forgetting the years of parental love, care, and guidance. Some even turn back to curse, beat, and sometimes, cruelly murder their parents. In some places, there are outdated customs where, when parents become old and weak, according to tradition, children have to abandon them on desolate mountains, leaving them alone… Such individuals and actions deserve straightforward condemnation from society. Filial piety is a good moral quality that everyone should have. We need to love, worship, and take care of our old and sick parents. The sacrifices they made for us deserve to be fully repaid.

In life, everyone we encounter plays different roles and holds unique emotions for us. One of the most beautiful human emotions and the most significant people in our lives are our parents. Therefore, we must have responsibilities towards our parents. The responsibility of children towards their parents includes love, care, support, and assisting them in their daily lives, as well as striving for academic excellence and ethical development to become responsible citizens, capable of providing for their parents in old age. Parents are the ones who give us life, teach us basic manners, guide us through greetings, words of respect, and even instruct us in daily activities such as eating and working around the house. They teach us how to use utensils, from spoons to chopsticks, and mold our character and qualities, making the family the most fundamental and important educational environment shaping a person's character.

When parents are still healthy, we have the responsibility to keep them happy and content, ensuring they are not troubled. We must consistently cultivate our ethical values and dedicate ourselves to studies to provide peace of mind for our parents, sharing their burdens. As parents age and become weak, our responsibility is to take care of their lives, regularly inquire about their health, and, if they fall ill, provide attentive care and take them for medical check-ups, regardless of weather conditions. When parents become frail and less mentally agile, our care and concern should intensify. We must avoid making them feel like a burden; instead, we should express our love and care. In unfortunate circumstances where parents pass away, children have the responsibility to handle funeral arrangements and post-funeral matters with great care, expressing deep sorrow and condolences. Annual rituals, commemorative ceremonies, and festive occasions must be observed meticulously.

Responsibility towards parents is not only a duty for children but also a noble and humane tradition in Vietnamese culture throughout generations. Let us cherish and uphold this tradition for the betterment of society.

Every person in this life is an honor and a blessing bestowed upon us by our parents. Therefore, each child needs to live according to filial piety, having responsibilities towards their parents. The responsibility of children towards parents is for each child to understand the tremendous contributions of their parents and consciously love, assist, and provide for their parents in old age. Mothers sacrifice their youth, beauty, and endure countless hardships to raise us into individuals. Fathers dedicate their entire lives, working hard to ensure we have a life filled with material abundance. They not only give us life and raise us, but they also shape our entire lives, tolerating us even if the world abandons us. Parents are the only ones who sacrifice everything for us, with their sole wish being a good life for us. With these significant contributions, we must live responsibly towards our parents.

And most importantly, we must care for, nurture, and assist our parents in the smallest of tasks. That is all that a child must responsibly do to fulfill their filial duties.

They only care about themselves, indulging in pleasure without thinking about the parents who toil day and night, shedding tears, to provide them with a warm and comfortable life. I wonder why there are still such unfilial children in the world? How can they forget the sacred and noble family bonds? Is there any moment when those children suddenly think that they still have a mother, a father, living in this world? If there is regret after their parents have passed away, it will be too late. In conclusion, every child must live responsibly for their family, especially when they still have parents to love and lean on in times of difficulty. Family affection is a warm stream, nurturing our souls and helping us stand firm on the challenging path of life.

From the time we were in our mother's womb, each child received the care of a father and the eager anticipation of a mother. When born, mothers nurture with sweet milk and eagerly await every first step, teach the first words... Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, children grow up. This means more challenges for parents, especially when it comes to supporting our education. Despite difficulties and hard work, parents shower us with love and take care of us to the best of their abilities. Therefore, children should have a sense of responsibility towards their parents. When we are young, we may not have the strength to earn money or perform strenuous tasks. Our job at this point is to study diligently, obey teachers and parents to achieve high academic success. This brings joy and happiness to our parents. As we grow older, our parents age, and it is our time to show gratitude. Repaying parents is not just about making a lot of money and giving it to them; it's also about creating a strong support system for them in their old age. When parents become elderly, they often feel lonely because their children are busy with various responsibilities, leaving little time for them. To be a good support for our parents, we need to take care of their physical and mental well-being. Spend time with them, have heart-to-heart conversations, and reminisce about family memories. Things that adult children should do when parents are elderly include sharing a good meal with them, telling childhood stories, recalling family memories, and organizing gatherings on special occasions. Not everyone in life can do these things. Although everyone has friends and social relationships, do not get too immersed in personal interests and forget those who gave us life and nurtured us. Many people consider their parents a burden, and without hesitation, place them in nursing homes, where only those without families belong. Parental sacrifices are immense, and even if we spend our entire lives trying, we cannot fully repay them. Therefore, while we still can, let's fulfill our duties in the simplest ways, be the strongest support for our parents in their old age. This is the obligation of children to their parents.
