Single Parents: How To Discipline Your Child

How do I discipline my child if I'm a single parent?

When it comes to disciplining your child, I think it's really important for your child to be heard as well. I think the days of "because I said so" are gone, and the authoritarian way of parenting no longer works. Like my son and I would have debates, like he'd tell me something that I would have to listen and vice versa. So we kind of co-created discipline sometimes. Like I would say "what would you do, how would you discipline yourself if this happened" and he'd say "well I wouldn't let me watch TV", so we would try that. So there's ways of doing it lightly, and there's ways of being stronger with it, but I think the old ways of discipline just don't work anymore.
