Do you let them kneel on soft cushions, or do you make them kneel on a hard floor? Or does it depend on their score for the week?
When respect for parents is connected to respect for God, this is a powerful combination. This means that disrespect for parents is connected to disrespect for God.
You can tell them to say whatever words you want them to say. They can say these words as a prayer to God, while on their knees.
If they don't say exactly what you tell them to say, in exactly the way you tell them to say it, this is disrespecting God, since they are supposed to be in prayerful repentance.
They can apologize for being disobedient. They can ask God to give mom and dad the strength to punish them. They can thank God for giving them a butt to be spanked, and giving you a cane and a strap to spank it with.
Mom and Dad and God are to them a completely unified authority, which they have no choice but to respect.
