Have fun and certainly 1 on 1 time is important, as is family time, as is time on their own to learn to entertain themselves, and also teaching them respect and boundaries must exist and non they can’t have everything they want nor do what they want… so time also to implement the time-out concept when they do something undesirable.
The caveat being THE PARENT needs to be left calm, express the rules, how long they’re there for (typucally as many minutes as they are old), and then afterwards have a quiet calm chat about what happened and the impact/risk and child apology, and finally a good hug and expression of teamwork and love.
