　　When we were very young and vulnerable, parents hold our hands tightly to prevent us from falling, caress us out of fear in darkness and tell us stories to give us wisdom. 

　　我们还很幼小脆弱的时候，父母会紧握我们的手来防止我们摔倒，在黑夜中轻轻抚摸让我们不再害怕，通过讲故事让我们明理。

　　As we mature into adulthood, we begin to have duties and stresses on our shoulders. And this is the very time that we think of the question of how our parents have felt and how they have strived to do their best. 

　　随着我们成年，我们开始感受到肩膀上的责任和压力。这时经历才让我们想到，父母曾经怎么感受，又曾经如何尽力拼搏。

I think "At this very time" means:

At this exact time.

"very" is used for emphasis. So by saying ‘at this very time‘ simply means ‘at this exact, precise time‘. 
It means ‘now‘ and the stress is given to show the emphasis on the present time.

　　And yet whenever we looked into their eyes, we are always greeted with tender smiles and warm encouragement, giving us little clue of the hard struggles they may be in.

　　但不论我们何时看向他们的双眼，我们都会看到温和的笑容和暖心的鼓励，一点都没透露出他们可能面临的难题
