The influence that parents can have on the lives of their children over a period of fifteen to eighteen years is incredible . . . Whether parents are aware of it or not, through their daily life styles and the consistency of their behavior they teach their children to blend, for better or worse, the basic ingredients for living--how to deal with anxiety, failure, hot to handle money, make friends, be a friend, how to resolve conflicts and make decisions, how to live and how to be loved. . .

Research is telling us that healthy, balanced children who value themselves and others are likely to come from homes in which the parents respect and care for the children, each other, and themselves; where there are firm rules which are consistently enforced; and where there are high standards for behavior and performance which children are expected to live up to.
