When do the highest tides occur?
High tides are the biggest when the moon is Full or when the moon is a New Moon. The gravitational pull of the Moon is greatest at these phases which makes a bigger bulge in the ocean causing high tide. But it also depends on the time of year when the tides are low or high.
Explain why lunar eclipses occur during a full moon?

What is the earth doing when it is waxing?
The Moon is Waning at this time - growing smaller - light is on the left side and right side is darker each night. Or as stated from another web search "As the moon orbits the Earth, we see the moon in differing amounts of the sun's light. When the moon is farthest from the sun, the side facing Earth is in full sunlight. When it's closest to the sun, the side we see is in full shadow, and is called "New moon." In between those two phases, which are about 2 weeks apart, there's the "Waning moon", which means the sunlit side we see is getting smaller day to day, and then there's the "Waxing moon", which means that the sunlit side we see is getting larger day to day."
What phase of the moon causes the highest tides?
If you mean which of these bodies has the strongest gravitational field then the Sun wins by a very large margin. This is because the strength of a gravitational field is governed by an object's mass and the Sun is the heaviest. After that the Earth is the most massive and finally the moon. So the order is Sun, Earth and Moon.
