Those 4 tasks were to Connect, Empower, Organize, and Accountability. Your unique combination of how you accomplish these tasks make up your parenting style.
Your parenting style is one major factor which affects the behovior of your child. In the third part of ourParenting Essesntials series of podcasts, Jeff and Mat discuss how parenting style influences childrens behavior. Understanding your parenting style and the impact it has on your childs behavior is an important step in helping yourself and your children make important changes in your lives.
