As a parent, it is important to find positive ways to guide and influence your children's behavior instead of relying on fear and guilt. Positive reinforcement such as rewarding good behavior can be effective in influencing long-term change. Setting reasonable boundaries, consequences and communicating clearly can also help shape the desired behavior while providing emotional support. Furthermore, modeling appropriate behaviors is one of the most effective ways to influence your children's conduct.

Parents can use fear and guilt to influence their children’s behavior by emphasizing consequences and punishments if they do not follow the desired behavior. For example, saying “If you don’t eat your vegetables, you won’t get dessert” or “If you don’t do your homework, you won’t be able to watch television.” Parents can also express their disappointment or even anger to make their children feel bad about misbehaving. By making sure their kids know the consequences of their actions before the misbehavior occurs, parents can try to prevent undesirable behaviors.
