Effective
parenting is when you are clear about what your job is and do it well,
when you know why you are doing what you are doing and can clearly articulate
that.
Effective parenting involves:
Identifying
important values
Knowing how children learn values
Exemplify those values
Setting firm limits with kindness
Nurturing your child's individuality
The five biggest mistakes parents make arise from not understanding how children learn to listen, how children learn to be respectful, how to teach cooperation and what to reasonably expect at different stages of development.
