It is only a natural feeling for children to realize at a point in time of there life that there the ones in charge of their life, not minding the facts that you are their parents. At this time, there is nothing you can force them to do if they do not want to do it. For such acts, it is most times noticed when the child comes up to about two to three years and it is only funny that ones there start there cannot stop. It is now left for every parent to seek ways of improving their children's behavior. Even any professional would tell you to practice skills on how to improve your child's behavior.
One of the things you have to do be parts of their life to affect their behavior is to have a listening hear. It is a crucial and important attitude you have to put towards your child. There would always want to be heard, so it is up to you form the habit of having a listening hear even if there are not making any sense.
You should be up to date with their feeling. This is important so that you do not get confused with any area of their life at any time. This is an important factor because, what may sound to you as a petty problem might be the hardest thing there might have to face at that pointing time. So be validated with their feelings.
In addition, when you are giving your own opinion about what there are feeling, you should state it as is if you are suggesting. This is important even if you know that you hold all the power and authority at home. By doing this, you will be improving the child's behavior in making the right decision but forcing you opinion on them would be telling to follow a path blindly rather than following their own instinct.
One of he hardest thing you would have to do is stepping back from their lives. This would have to be a hard decision for you as a parent but you would have succeeded in showing them how to be independent. Allowing them to make a wrong decision at some point and allowing them face to result alone would teach them to think before there take any certain decisions again.
Make yourself available when there nee someone to lean on. Even after making some mistakes in their life, you should be the one to tell them their mistakes and where there went wrong and what to do when such situation arises again. This would put you in the forefront of their decision-making.
I hope with this you would be able to practice a befitting relationship with your child.
