英语语法问题？

Some parents might worry that relying on apps to kids to do chores only encourages them to be on their phones more . But parents have chosen this approach argue that they are meeting their kids where they are and that it takes the parental nagging out of the equation.从后面but开始 meeting their kids where they are ,这是前面argue that 的宾语从句里的定语从句么？这个句子是什么意思父母要迎合孩子where they are? 后面的并列宾语从句 out of the equation是什么意思？

Answer 1

您好，But parents (who) have chosen this approach argue that they are meeting their kids where they are and that it takes the parental nagging out of the equation. 感觉这个句子是不是漏掉了（who）？否者句子的谓语动词就不太对劲了。假如有了 who ，那么整个句子可以压缩到最基本的（主谓宾）结构：
But, parents (who have chosen this approach) argue A (=that they are meeting their kids where they are) and B (= that it takes the parental nagging out of the equation.)
所以句子的主干是：
Parents argue A and B.
其中
A = that they are meeting their kids where they are
B = that it takes the parental nagging out of the equation
第一层次：
Parents (who have chosen this approach) argue A and B.
其中 who have chosen this approach 是由 who 引导的定语从句修饰主语 parents；从句中引导词 who 充当主语，have chosen 是谓语，this approach 是宾语；
A 和 B 都是 argue 的宾语，属于并列宾语从句：

A = 由 that 引导的宾语从句 they are meeting their kids where they are
that 没有成分
主语 = they；谓语 = are meeting；宾语 = their kids；地点状语从句 = where they are
they are meeting their kids where they are 的汉语翻译可以考虑：
（他们正在孩子需要的地方满足孩子的需求。也就是孩子总想着要用手机，而让孩子使用手机作为做家事的工具，可以满足孩子想要用手机的的渴望，也就是您说的【迎合】了）
B = 由 that 引导的宾语从句 that it takes the parental nagging out of the equation
that 没有成分
主语 = it（代词，替代前面的 this approach）；谓语 = takes；宾语 = the parental nagging；宾补 = out of the equation。
it takes the parental nagging out of the equation 的汉语翻译可以考虑：
（这把父母亲的唠叨从【父母亲 > 叫孩子做家事 > 孩子考虑 > 做还是不做家事】方程式中剔除了）句子的含义是假如父母亲使用手机程序让孩子做家事，这既满足了孩子想要玩手机的欲望（meet where they are）又把（不让玩手机但需要时常嘱咐孩子做家事）的这个唠叨从整个过程中（equation）给剔除了，也就是使用了手机程序让孩子做家事，父母亲就不需要经常唠叨了，这既满足了孩子想要玩手机的欲望，又不需要重复唠叨，省事省力省时的意思了。
Some parents might worry that relying on apps to kids to do chores only encourages them to be on their phones more . But parents (who) have chosen this approach argue that they are meeting their kids where they are and that it takes the parental nagging out of the equation.
一些家长可能会担心，依靠应用程序让孩子做家务只会鼓励他们更多地依赖手机。但是选择这种方法的父母认为，他们正在满足孩子们想玩手机的欲望，而这也把父母的唠叨排除在等式之外。
