First of all, I think that a good relationship between parents and children ideally begins with good communication between them.

I believe that if children are well educated, they will know what is good for them and will therefore not therefore need to disagree with their parents.

However, the parents have more experience and they know how to impose their choices when needed.

Sometimes parents must say "no" to their children, and it is important that the children learn to accept not getting their way.

There are nevertheless moments where I am convinced that the child knows what is best; for example, when it comes to his or her sexual orientation or career, which in my view does not concern the parents, at least not directly.

The respect for choices must be mutual even if it is necessary to remind the children that the parents are the holders of the authority.

In my opinion, children should be able to assert their rights and to share their opinions when it is about fundamental choices, such as whether to practise a religion or not.

Parents who systematically impose their vision of things on their children never obtain good results.

Children who try systematically try to impose their visions of things onto their parents by contradicting them never obtain good results.

The best way is to find a happy medium.
