The Bible says to discipline you children.
When she is bad punish her. When she is good praise her.
She is controlling you right now. When she is a teenager she will get worse.
So discipline her now while you are bigger than her.
Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.
For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you strike him with a rod, he will not die. If you strike him with the rod, you will save his soul from Sheol. My son, if your heart is wise, my heart too will be glad.
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.

Discipline your son, and he will give you rest; he will give delight to your heart.
The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.
Discipline your son, for there is hope; do not set your heart on putting him to death.
Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid.
