Well this has probably got to be traced back to the difference in how parenting is done today as opposed to how parenting was done in yesteryears. These days parents believe in taking a more liberal approach towards raising their kids, which on its own isn't a bad thing, but when it results in kids who can't respect their parents then it becomes wrong.
Let's not forget social media and the internet; these days, kids are exposed to a lot more than they should by virtue of what they see on TV and on the internet. If kids see other kids disrespecting their parents online and getting away with it then they're most probably going to try and do the same thing.
Generation Z, the ones preceded by the millennials are the ones that are guilty of parental disrespect the most and that stems from the fact that they believe they're always right. Most kids I meet these days feel like they've gotten life all figured out, even going to far as to coin a name for it and it's called being "woke" as in awake to the truth about life. They end up feeling like they know more than their parents and this results in very disrespectful behaviour on their part.
The society at large can't be excused from this, children don't just wake up and become disrespectful, negative influences from people outside the family also play a significant role in making kids disrespectful, and the laws in place in most countries also prevent parents from taking the necessary action required to correct their children, lest they get arrested.
As archaic as it sounds, the concept of sparing the rod and spoiling the child is held on to pretty tight by Africans and that's why you never really hear of disrespectful children. Albeit not the best way to raise kids, I should know, I received my fair share of beatings from my parents when I was younger, but the truth is that it actually works, and it teaches you what is right from wrong , which is something kids of this generation don't seem to understand.
The reason is certainly one of them because of the mistakes we make in the presence of our children so that children will lose respect for us. That's the main reason that I think makes parents no longer valued by their children.
The second reason is because of the relationship between children who are too free, in the midst of such rapid technological developments, plus the association of children who are bebab, they will no longer respect their parents. Bad examples of association will make them affected and follow along to practice it.
