Listen to your kids
Parents are not a police department that issues orders, rules and laws. Your children need your kindness and understanding. Be gentle and attentive. Talk to your children and learn to listen to them. They may be willing to open up to you so that you could help them or give advice. If you ignore this tip, your kids will look for help elsewhere and trust strangers rather than you. Ask your kids if they would like to talk to you and tell them that you are ready to listen to their concerns.
Maintain order
Order is a good thing. And so is discipline. Be an example of what an organized and disciplined person is like and follow the rule that you have set. Your spouse should also maintain order in the family and demonstrate that your family will be united and friendly as long as there is some level of order in all spheres of your family life. Have schedules for your kids and yourself and know when you have meals or go to bed. Set aside time for entertainment and other important activities.
