I hope all of your children can conduct true filial piety.

I hope all (of) your children can conduct true filial piety.

1. I believe 'conduct' is the wrong verb, but cannot think a suitable verb.

Could someone please help me?

2. I also think the sentence is better without "of". Am I right?

Thanks.

Thanks, Elanguest.

I agree 'demonstrate' is a suitable verb in this context.

What about 'exhibit' and 'show'? Do you think they are OK?
