Islamic teachings on the Importance of Parents: Say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour: Quran 17:23
The Status of Parents in Islam by Syed Hasan Akhtar, M. D. Austin, Texas : "Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or more attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour. And out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say, "my Lord! bestow on them Thy Mercy, even as they cherished me in childhood." (Quran 17: 23,24)
