How do we see instances of true and false repentance within the home?

Paul Thompson explains in this video that we can see instances of true and false repentance within the home by examining the lives of our children. We see false repentance when a child has done the opposite of what his father instructed him to do but they only feel sorry because they are disciplined or lose a privilege and they never adjust their pattern of life.

But, when a child knows the heart of their father and is grieved because they know have caused sorrow in their father’s heart and understand that they have broken this commandment of his father, true repentance occurs when that child turns from their actions because they want to be in the right relationship with their father.

Malachi 4:6 (NKJV) – “And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.” 

You know, repentance in the home, so we're looking at a child, perhaps, who has done the opposite of what his father's instructed him to do. Inside the home there could be very similar situations to repentance to God or sorrow to God. A child could feel sorrow that he's broken a law or an instruction that his father has given him. And he's only sorry because he knows he's going to receive a spanking or he's going to be disciplined or he's going to lose a privilege. But it really never adjusts his pattern of life.

Repentance whenever that child knows the heart of his father, and he knows it when he goes against the instructions of his father, that now He's grieved his father. He's caused sorrow in his father's heart. And so now his position is deeper, it's richer, it's an understanding of why he's sorry, why he's broken this commandment of his father, this instruction of his father, and he wants to be in a right relationship with his father. So that child would repent in genuine sorrow, genuine hurt that he's hurt his father. You
