What is the importance of obeying your parents

If  we listen to our parents and do what they ask, they will not bother and nag us so much. They just want to protect us from making the mistakes they made or that someone they know made.

Explanation:

the answer to the question is punishment. or more specifically, positive punishment.

positive punishment occurs when a behavior is given a negative consequence for the individual doing the behavior.

sara no longer wants to ask questions (the behavior) because she is ridiculed by mr. smith (the punishment).

reinforcement is inaccurate because reinforcement always gives positive consequences for the individual doing the behavior, be it by introducing a pleasant consequence or removing an unpleasant one.
