• Compare the three basic parenting styles: authoritarian, authoritative, and permissive.

Imagine

• That people had to apply for the job of parent. On their job application, they would list their relevant skills and experience. If you were applying for that job, what would you list?

• The skills and qualities needed to be an effective parent can be learned over time – not just by trial and error, but by making an effort to learn and improve.

Don't worry that children never listen to you;worry that they're always watching you.
