Try not to dictate terms but convince the child if you want to say ‘no’ for something. Inculcate in the child from the childhood itself good manners and discipline as may be applicable when he/she is toddler, child, adolescent, boy so that he grows up as a good boy and brings name and fame to the family.
If you follow the above, I am sure you will feel like being ‘Prideful Mom’!
