    no amount of books prepare you to be a good parent.

    the only thing that has helped me are three rules

    1. be calm
    2. be understanding
    3. lead by example

    it also helps to be firm. when you said no, it means no. no amount of begging or bargaining will change that. and when a punishment is given, it’s seen through to the end.
