Effective parenting skills are displayed clearly through a consistent parenting approach. Clear, firm, consistent parenting is quality parenting. I believe being a consistent parent is both vitally important and totally necessary to ensure a happy family life. In fact I would go so far as to state that I believe clear,consistent parenting produces well adjusted children and parents. This creates a happy family.   Do your children whine and grizzle? Are you a push over and easily manipulated by them? Do you walk on egg shells around your children in order to maintain peace? How often do you give in after saying no? Are you in charge or do your children run your household? Children learn best by being given clear, firm and consistent directions from parents who are clear, firm and consistent in their approach.
