Things to remember!

When you're a parent, it's important to remember that you're the one in charge. Your child is a person deserving of respect, but you are the teacher and leader in the family. Children often know what they think they want, but not what they really want. More about that later, but if you notice yourself saying "he won't let me do that" or "he makes me do this", it's time to think about whether you are being the leader and teacher or whether you are being bossed around by your child.
