उत्तर

Though unspoken, the gesture that both the parents made it clear what they were thinking about exactly the same thing. When a parent talks of how disciplined a child must be. The capitalisation highlights the stress laid on the words. They are unsaid by the parent, however, they are authoritative implying that a child ought to be obedient and well behaved.
