In his book, Boundaries With Teens, author John Townsend talks about the 4 anchors of parenting. You’ll notice the excellent balance of tension.
Love (I’m on your side) is balanced nicely with Truth (I have some rules).
Freedom (You can choose to respect or reject the rules) stands in tension with Reality (Here is what will happen)
As with all of life, the temptation to eliminate tension is to generally error to one side or the other.
