They meant throw a fit, yell and scream, raise hell, enforce your rules.

Hmm, what other people wrote is correct, but I would think twice about the advice. Is that the way you want to teach your children to respond to a problem? Go on a tear? Demand respect or ownership rights? Sounds more like a show of intimidation and power to me. Sure, we'll teach teach or money makes right, not reason.

I think that they want you to exert your parental authority but I don't agree with the way that they want you to do it. Going on a tear means to get in someone's face and to yell and scream to get your point across. I don't think that works with children, in fact after your finished yelling and screaming they are more likely to tune out what ever it was that you've said. You can establish your parental authority by letting the children know what you will accept and won't and letting them know the consequences. If they cross the line than make sure that you stick to the consequences and that will gain their respect and their good behavior.

In other words, go on a rampage, put your gorilla suit on.
