The thing about parenting a PDA kid is that you do not control them. You are not their boss and you are not in control.

The firmer you are the less it works, the more strict you become the less they listen. 'Putting tour foot down' will do nothing but stress them and possibly cause a meltdown.

All you can do is offer comfort, assistance, and advice, but you need to let them make their own decisions, whether they be bad or good, because you cannot stop them.

They might listen to some demands, such as bedtimes or screentime or helping with chores, but only if they are offered lightly. Only if there is wiggle room and they have options.

You are not in control of your PDA child. The sooner you accept that you are not their warden nor owner, the better your relationship will be.
