Following is a response from Senior Data Processing Specialist, Ladys Ortiz:

First: Generate a mother/father data set using (hhid + hv112/hv114) as the identifier, plus any other mother/father's variables you want to analyze as age, education, etc. (using the household member recode data NGPR???.DAT)

Second: Generate a children aged 5-15 data file using hhid+hidx plus any children's variable you want to analyze (do not forget to include their mothers/fathers line number (hv112/hv114)

Third: Merge the parent's data file (mother/father) to the children (aged 5-15) using as an ID: "hhid+hv112/hv114"

Note: if the parents are not living in the household or are dead, the information about parents will be missing.
