Educators know how important it is for parents to be the adults and in charge, yet still be caring and supportive of their children. Children need their parents to be parents—not just friends. This booklet helps parents understand why children must have limits and why parents must set them. It includes useful ideas for busy parents on how to establish and maintain parental authority. Parents will get proven, practical ideas on why and how to take charge and teach their children the important lessons only good discipline at home can teach them.
