It is so important that our kids learn at a young age to respect that there are rules that we must follow in life. You are absolutely right that picking your battles is key. There needs to be flexibility in our thinking but also, our kids need to understand that when we have decided that something is not ok, it is not up for discussion. If we always give in to our kids and let every decision we make a discussion then we are going to regret that as they become teenagers.
