6. Giving honor comes easy with respect. When my kids were young, they had great respect for their Mom and Dad. They gave us honor easily and frequently with drawings forrepparttar refrigerator and stories from books and their imaginations.

2. A power play is a temporary victory. I always tell parents, "Avoid power plays with your kids. If you don't, your child will always win."
