How may parents make threats "do that and I'll..." or "don't do that or I'll..." but fail to carry out the threat. Be consistent and mean what you say. Also set examples, be rigorous and stick to it. Some ties it is hard work yes, they drive you to despair but eventually they learn the rules and why they must be obeyed. Start immediately - its not funny when they're small (it may be but don't let them know and don't let them get away with it). Even babies know if you really mean it. They try it on to test you.
If your children misbehave - yes it IS your fault. You didn't set the rules and abide by them YOURSELF!
