Middle way man here to save the day! Parents need to strike a balance between being their child's friend and their führer. If you act too much like a dictator, your children will not be comfortable with you, and they will lie to you and keep their problems to themselves. If you are too much their friend, they will not treat your rules and orders with due respect, and you will lose the ability to guide them with a firm hand. This dynamic obviously changes as the children grow older, and hopefully, mature.
