Adults who lack self-confidence as parents end up being despised by their children. These parents desperately try to appease their children's misbehavior through play and fun.
In a home without rules, children do what they want. Children can also sniff a parent fearful of them and the result of this is deep contempt. Children love power games and for them, disrespect and contempt get along together which is the opposite of affection and discipline.
Parents' goal should be to express genuine love to their children; dedication combined with reasonable discipline; define limits and set their leadership.
Remember what the word of God says:
"Correct your son and he will give you rest, and he will give joy to your soul." Proverbs 29:17
Also, remember that disciplining your children is not physically abusing them by brutally punishing them.
