Children are hardwired for survival. However, survival to them means getting what they want. They often do not understand the difference between what they want and what they need. Once you prove your ability to meet their needs in a safe and reliable way they are free to focus their attention on building quality relationships. Meeting their needs in a safe and reliable way means becoming the authority figure.
