Help them. It is our job as not just Christians but as humans to help those around us. Jesus in The Bible gave the example of the Good Samaritan who, even though he was not friends with the man who had been injured, still stopped on the roadside to help him, give him aid and payed for him to stay at an inn. This is our example and we must do all that we can to help those in need.
1 Timothy 5:8 says "Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever"(NIV) so, it is a family's responsibility to care for the needs of its members. This would definitely include the need for an adult child to care for parents or grandparents who require assistance(1 Timothy 5:4). We are told throughout the Bible to 'honor our mother and father'(Exodus 20:12 / Ephesians 6:2+3) in return for the love they gave us (1 Thessalonians 2:7). Gray-headedness is a crown of beauty when it is found in the way of righteousness (Proverbs 16:31) and we are told by God to 'listen to your father who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old' (Proverbs 23:22 NEB) Those who have 'no respect for parents, no gratitude...no natural affection' are opposed to God and we are told to keep AWAY from them. (2 Timothy 3:2-5). Even if a parent was not all they should have been when they were raising us, we are still responsible to see that they are properly cared for in their old age out of respect for God's laws, because, in God's eyes, it's the right thing to do(Philippians 2:1-4)(Matthew 7:12)(Matthew 6:33). This doesn't necessarily mean we have to care for them ourselves, but we are responsible to see that they are properly cared for.
God commands us in the Bible to honor our Father and Mother. In fact, it is one of the 10 Commandments. So the Bible tells us that it is very important to take care of our parents.
Jesus said this:
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another (John 13.34)
No! God chooses the parents for every Child!
The Bible teaches the Golden Rule. Do unto others as you would have done unto you. Parents should support their children and when it becomes necessary, children should support their parents. In the Bible, the focus of the parent/child relationship was on love, honor, and respect as well as discipline and instruction (Eph. 6:1-4).
ALL the names in the Bible are children's names! Because every person in the Bible was once a child. Their parents named them, so all the names are for kids.

Lev 18:6 No one is to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the Lord. Lev 18:29 Everyone who does any of these detestable things-such persons must be cut off from their people.
Family is very highly regarded in the Bible. God placed high priority on children calling them "a blessing from the Lord". He also commands children to honor and obey their parents.
This is in Ephesians 6:1. "Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right."
Yes, their parents were Adam and Eve. The Bible makes this clear.
There is no doubt that Jael had parents, but we are not told of them in the Bible.
The Bible does not tell us who the parents of Job were.
The bible tells parents to love their children, and everyone of that matter. The father is supposed to be the provider, and the parents are to love and raise their children. Negative words are never a good thing.
