Parenting from a beginner.

- Compromise with your child's wants.

Giving your children what they want just 'spoils' them as we say, and they grow to feel entitled to having their wants met.
Being strict might seem advantageous, but studies show that it produces better liars, which says to me that being strict didn't get the guidance across.
Compromising could teach diligence, problem solving, how to have healthier relationships, and a sense they will reap what they sew.
