You should build your relationship on love and trust, rather than fear. Set clear expectations and boundaries, explain the why behind them and be open for discussion so your child feels heard. Avoid threats and bribery as much as possible, offer consequences when needed, provide lots of guidance and supervision, encourage kindness and respect, have consistent discipline when rules are broken, acknowledge their efforts ,and most importantly show unconditional love - even when they don't make the best choices.

As a parent, you can emotionally manipulate your child by using guilt, shame, rewards, and threats to influence their behaviour. For example, saying "If you don't do it now I'll be very displeased" or "Do it and you'll have a special reward". Additionally, making sure to consistently follow through with both positive and negative consequences is important for enforcing a desired behavior.
