Remember, today is not the day to win their friendship. Today is the day to lay down the law and expectation that you are the alpha and to be respected.
Any shit you tolerate today will go up by an exponential factor as time goes on. See a kid who’s gonna be a problem? Stomp on the issue right away and set the expectation for consequences
Once you have that respect in the first few days, feel free to be yourself
