About the video: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” said Benjamin Franklin. Authority style can be a help or an obstacle to effective parenting. Giving orders, giving in, and giving choices are three common styles of authority but only one is effective for raising a self-disciplined child. The good news is that it is a learnable skill!

This video explains characteristics and the predictable results of each authority style. It also illustrates parenting tools to establish a family mindset of life-giving versus life-blocking choices.
