I respect my parents because of everything I've seen what they wenty through while trying to raise myself and my brothers.

Guilt?
I think guilt is a large part of being a child- you dont want to let your parents down.
I think several of your other points also are much easily understood in hindsight, rather than through the eyes of a child. (certainly that is my experience, i've often thought my parents were wrong in whatever capacity, only later, with maturity, could i understand what they were saying).
I think fear is another component. Not always through explicit fear, but perhaps through the unknown, or lack of conviction.
I can see the situation where i raise my child to understand right and wrong, but also to be someone who thinks freely, and upon their own will.
I would like to think my child is someone who would/could challenge my opinions, rather than disregard them.
