Sister, I totally understand your situation, you may seek help of Allah through Salaatul Haajah. Please check on the main page for the method of performing it.

I know that you are obliged to discipline the children for their errors, of course they will make mistakes and we will guide them from time to time. If you really wants them to be obedient and disciplined, the best thing for that is to have daily Taleem from the book of 'Fazaail-e-Amaal'. Insha Allah in few days you will see a change in them. Daily reading a book of Hadith on good deeds helps in this situation.

You may also read a chapter of Muntakhab Ahadith to your family for 10 minutes together. Then make Dua.

Make an effort to remove any bad literature, digests, TV, pictures and movies from your home. Such things only take the Ummah to a path of immodesty and bad desires.
