God is not pleased when members of a family are in enmity with each other. Family is a beautiful thing when love is existing between the members. When we begin to sense some kind of conflict between one another we should endeavor to do everything not to let it to get out of hand.
Whichever area that the child may have sensed to have offended his or her parents they should not hesitate to apologize. There's no misunderstanding that cannot be resolved if we truly work towards it. It is the desire of every child to feel loved by the parents, but when the opposite happens this can affect the child.
Part of the duties a parent owe the child is to love the child with the whole of their hearts. There's a level of love a child may never receive from people that are not biologically related to him, it is way different when it is coming from their parents. Prayers is very important to keep a good family. There's nothing prayers that cannot do.
God can penetrate the heart of any man. Even the most hardened heart can be responsive before God. When we feel overwhelmed by circumstances like this it could be the right time to present it over God.
