I don't think there is a one size fits all answer to this question. Different kids need different things from parents. I would say one safe assumption is that as tough as it may sometimes be, you have to be the parent and not their friend. They'll hate you at the time, but most likely appreciate it later in life. I did.

What does it take to be a good parent?
