This one came from overhearing two distinctly different conversations a couple of weeks ago. In one, the parent treated their child with respect, in the other, the child was little more than an inferior punch-bag for the parent’s anxieties.

Sorry if this is utterly intentional and obvious, but…
I see two different perspectives…one is the child at the top of some stairs, the other is the child dangling over a trap door.
