This is a sentence of the lesson «Soft words for hard things: relations and family and children's behaviour» of the euphemisms course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Parents), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
