As the parent of a child, you are entitled and, in fact, required to exercise parental authority. You must do so without violence.
Parental authority ends:
Children owe their parents respect and remain under their authority until they reach full age (18 years) or are emancipated. An unemancipated minor may not leave home without the consent of the person with parental authority.
