If you are the parent it does not mean you will always direct kids! You need to hear them as well. Hearing what they have to say makes them feel important,

Talk about family rules together and why it’s necessary for everybody to follow it. Allow kids to give their inputs as well. They should also be well aware about the consequences of breaking rules too.
