Abstract

You hear the all-too familiar squealing and aren’t surprised when you find your 2-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son in a tug-of-war match over a coveted toy. It has already happened several times today, and you’re beginning to feel frustrated. How do you respond?

How parents handle such situations affects more than just the level of chaos in their home. Research has shown that parenting style can also affect children’s social development.
