Research tells us that the most effective parenting style in achieving positive psychological and social outcomes is the Authoritative style. I often describe this style as having equal amounts of firmness and kindness. Essentially I mean being firm and kind at the same time. How can this be? What about when we get angry or our children are misbehaving? How can we discipline and be kind at the same time? The answer to these questions lies in the way we choose to discipline.
