Yes Sir!

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother", which is the first commandment with promise: "that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth."(Deuteronomy 5:16) And you fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord. (Ephesians 6:1-5)
Obedience (or lack thereof) by children to parents has a direct correlation to a child's obedience to God and future respect for all authorities. If a child is required to obey at home, he will have no issues with obeying the Word of God and all authority later in life. It has been studied and proven that a child with issues of the home authority (which has been established by God) will eventually live a life of struggle with authorities at school, work, and in society (law enforcement). Yes, the toddler not accepting "No!" In the toy store and the parent giving in to him (to make him "happy") will undoubtedly turn into a teen who struggles with school rules, on-the-job requirements, speed limits, and the like. Parents, teachers, mentors . . . REQUIRE obedience the first time. It's best for us and the kids!

As children we should respect and honor our parents so that we may live long here on earth, and fathers shall train us to be great woman and men, yet not provoke us so that we disrespect them.
