Clear rules help eliminate arguments

You have a better chance of eliminating conflict between you and your child if you pick a calm, unhurried time to discuss any issue you are having. Then, agree on a rule to address the issue in the future. For example, your child must read before having recreational screen time. Post the rule where you both can see it. When the situation next arises, you can just point to the rule and avoid an argument.
