Ever since Sigmund Freud, it has been generally believed that during childhood, our parents, and especially our mother, are the most important people in our lives. They are the dispensers of punishments and goodies. A nod of the head means we could stay up an hour or two beyond our usual/regular/normal bedtime, or to go on a trip with our friends.

Few other adults ever play such important part in a child's life as do parents. You may not have liked Mrs Lim, your form teacher, but she was not the ultimate authority during your childhood years. Teachers may point out our mistakes in class, but they do not have the continuous authority over us that our parents do. What is more important is that the authority of the teacher ends when school is over for the day.
