How can I change my parenting style to be more effective?

It's great that you're looking to improve! What specific aspects of your parenting style are you considering changing?

I think I need to be more authoritative instead of permissive.

Shifting to an authoritative style can be beneficial. It involves setting clear expectations while being responsive. Have you thought about how to implement this?

I guess I need to establish more rules and boundaries.

Absolutely! Start by identifying key areas where you want to set rules. Consistency is key, so make sure to communicate these changes clearly to your children.

What if my kids resist the new rules?

Resistance is common. It's important to explain the reasons behind the rules and involve them in the discussion. This can help them feel more included and less resistant.
