How to effectively calm children when dealing with parent-child conflicts?

How to effectively calm children when dealing with parent-child conflicts? From time to time, conflicts may arise between children and adults.

For example, they ask their child to do homework, but the child doesn’t do it; they ask the child to eat, but the child sits there playing instead.

In the practice of mindfulness, parents can learn to carefully observe what
