2. Your child is the boss of you
No matter how strong, or powerful you might be around other people, including at your workplace, your children will always be your soft spot. While you might not like when other people boss you around, you instantly obey when your kid asks you to do something, and that’s because you love them more than you love yourself.
At the same time, if you do not do something they ask you to do, they might get upset or burst into tears. Or, they might get angry, because they’re not used to not getting something they want.
Therefore, you might feel like agreeing with them or giving them what they want is the easier option in this situation. However, it’s not very wise to do so. As parents, it’s important that we are authority figures for our children, especially when they’re younger.
That’s why you need to listen very carefully to what your children have to say every time they make a demand, and learn how to respond properly. Even though they might not be very content with the change in your tactics, they will thank you in the long run, which is all that matters.
