  • Father and mother are hot in their bosoms and in the cold.

Russian proverbs and sayings about parents fully reflect the family structure in Rus':

  • Anyone who has not been a father does not know the value of a father.

In Rus', a man was, in the full sense of the word, the head of the family; all the main burdens and troubles lay on him. Therefore, the sayings emphasize the need not only to love your father, but also to be his reliable help, support, and help.

  • A good son's father's orders do not break his back.

Sayings about education

You can compare this by considering the following proverbs about parents and family:

  • The mother and father are caring, but the children are not hardworking.
  • Even a father can't make a stupid son smart.

In contrast to them, the following sayings sound.

  • Not the father who gave birth, but the one who watered, fed, taught wisdom and reason.

  • What rolls off the parents' tongues jumps onto the child's tongue.

To one person, the lines about the impossibility of instilling intelligence, strength of character, and decency even through education will seem more true. Others, on the contrary, will like proverbs that emphasize the need for parental influence, demonstration by personal example of correct behavior, attitude to work, rest, and study.

  • The mother and father are hardworking, and the children are not lazy.
  • Whom you raise in childhood, you will rely on in old age.

Parents are the people who gave us life. Even based on this fact, it is logical to assume that we should love them more than anything in the world, respect and treat them with respect.

Parents are our family, our support and protection, therefore their value in our lives cannot be measured by any quantity.

Proverbs and sayings about the respectful attitude of children towards parents for preschool age, kindergarten: a collection with an explanation of the meaning

Little children know well what their parents love for them and vice versa. However, they do not yet fully understand that this feeling can manifest itself through completely different values, for example, respect. Using the following statements, you can explain to kids what respectful attitude towards parents is and why it is so important.

  • The family rests on the elderly. The proverb talks about old people, however, by “old people” we can mean not only old people who have lived their lives, but also all family members who are wiser and more experienced than children, that is, parents as well. The proverb explains to us that it is thanks to parents that a family is a family; it is they who maintain an atmosphere of love and understanding in relationships. Based on this, you need to show respect to them and not allow yourself to upset them with your behavior.
  • Whoever honors his parents does not perish. First, you need to explain to the kids that “does not perish” in this statement does not have a literal meaning. Here these words are used in the following meaning - lives happily, carefree, without problems and grief. The meaning of the saying is that a person who respects his parents will live happily ever after. And in case of a different attitude, his life will not turn out well, since disrespect for the people who gave life is considered a sin.
  • Father and mother are sacred words. From time immemorial, parents have actually been equated with saints, since they give us life, and then, until the end of their days, they protect us and help us. As you know, you can’t treat a saint with disrespect, just like you can’t show disrespect to your parents.
  • You will honor your father and mother, you will receive honor from your son. Firstly, the meaning of the saying is that one should protect and honor one’s parents. Secondly, the proverb teaches us that everything in our life is natural and a person always gets what he gives. If we treat our parents with respect, then our children will also value and respect us.
  • Woe and destruction to the people whose younger people stop honoring their elders. The proverb emphasizes the importance of older people, including parents, always being held in high esteem, because any other attitude towards them cannot be justified by absolutely anything. The proverb explains that people will not live in peace and harmony if the respect of the younger generation for the older generation disappears.
  • Feel sorry for your father and mother - you won’t find others.“To feel sorry” in this case does not mean to feel pity, but to help, love, respect and care. Parents are given to us once and we ourselves do not choose them. Despite this, we are eternally indebted to them, if only because they gave us this life.
  • There are no wrong parents on earth. The proverb tells us that we, children, do not have the right to judge and discuss our parents and their actions. No matter what, we must treat them with respect because they are the reason we live.
  • Don't neglect the advice of old people. Despite the fact that this proverb does not directly talk about respect, it still indirectly touches on this issue. To be respectful is not only not to be rude or offend, it is also to be able to accept the advice of wise people who have lived life and have life experience. Old people mean not only older people, but also parents and older relatives.
  • Help your parents during your lifetime. This statement encourages us to help our parents and treat them with respect when they need it, that is, during their lifetime.


  • The happiness of parents is the honesty and hard work of their children. Respect for your parents can be shown in different ways. This does not necessarily have to be expressed in the “correct” words and the absence of insults towards them. Being respectful means doing everything to make your parents happy and proud of you. The proverb tells us that sometimes the happiness of parents lies precisely in the fact that their children lead the right lifestyle.
  • Those who bring their parents to tears will not see happiness themselves. Making one of your parents cry is definitely disrespectful. The proverb tells us that a person who behaves in this way will not be able to live in prosperity and happiness.

The actions of parents are exclusively their business and their responsibility, and it is important to understand this. There should always be a respectful attitude towards mom and dad.
  • You will find everything in the world except father and mother. The proverb emphasizes the value and importance of parents in our lives. Parents are the only thing that cannot be bought or found in case of need, which is why we must respect and love them.


  • Whoever doesn’t listen to his mother will get into trouble. The meaning of the statement is that sometimes a respectful attitude is manifested in the fact that a person listens to the advice of his parents. The proverb tells us that if you disobey your mother, thus showing your disrespect for her, you can end up in an unpleasant situation.
  • Mother is a sacred thing, no one argues with her. Your own mother is the greatest wealth in the whole world, so you need to love, appreciate and respect her, and take her advice as parting words that will lead exclusively to a good life.
  • The parent's word is not spoken by anyone. The essence of the saying is that parental advice is a treasure that needs to be protected and for which you need to be grateful. You need to respect the wisdom of your parents and not devalue their advice.
  • The mother is a treasure in the family. The proverb shows the importance of a mother for every person and for the family in general. Disrespectful attitude towards mother is regarded as a sin, so she must be loved and respected.
  • Learn to honor gray hair. Gray hair is a symbol of wisdom and experience, which is endowed by older people and our parents. The proverb teaches us that we must honor age and people who are at that age.

A respectful attitude towards your parents is a respectful attitude towards yourself. Only one who values, loves and respects his parents can consider himself a truly educated and decent person.
