Imagine that a child wants to stay up longer than usual. How do you respond? I'll allow him to do it, after all, it is a special evening.
I will set a compromise – a bit longer, but not indefinitely.
I insist on the set time – rules are rules.
I'll leave it to the child to decide for themselves.
I will think about what the child is actually expressing.

When you see a child screaming at their parent in a store, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? The parent is struggling – they should maintain authority.
Poor child, he must feel misunderstood.
That wouldn't happen at my home.
Every parent has tough days, I don't make quick judgments.
I would like to know what happened before.

It sounds harsh, but there is some truth to it.
I disagree – love should be unconditional.
It depends on the context; the boundaries can vary.

I will tell him that without lunch there will be no dessert or games.
I insist that lunch should be eaten, even if it's less.
I'm interested in what lies behind that behavior.
