What the Bible says about Children, Immaturity of Children
(From Forerunner Commentary)
Of course, it shames his father too, but it usually affects a child's mother more grievously. Mothers tend to feel the disgrace of their children's dishonorable behavior acutely, whereas a father is more apt to react in anger. Foolish behavior that leads to trouble and shame is frequently what results when unruly young people conceptualize and enact what they in their immaturity think is fun.

Wisdom for the Young (Part Two)
This is not speaking of children with respect to age so much as skill in governing. This passage refers primarily to babes in experience, knowledge, and maturity, although in many cases today, children do seem to rule their parents.
