Parenting effectively is a difficult task. You can teach your child to behave well by providing love, attention, praise, encouragement and a degree of routine. Show your love. Respect your child's developing individuality. As your child grows, he or she will display certain personality traits. Some of these are learned, others genetic. Minimize rules - prioritize those geared towards safety first and then gradually add rules to your list over time as your child learns and grows. This psychology DVD describes in detail the principles of effective parenting and discipline. Learn how to make parenting easier so that more time is spent in enjoying your child and less time in arguments.
