I have to say, I'll be a bit worried if my kids are asking my approval for major decisions by the time they're in their 20s. I would hope I'm not domineering over them such that they don't feel able to grow up and be who they want to be. Nor would I consider their looking for my approval to be a mark of respect. Rather I'd be worried that I had failed to teach them to be responsible for themselves.

Advice, on the other hand, well that would say "respect" to me.
