  6. Direct Interaction Involves direct communication between the parent and the child; • Transfer of knowledge • Reward for desired behavior • Punishment for undesired behavior

  7. Emotional Identification By the age of 4 or 5: • The child begins to self identify as possessing characteristics of the parents as their own • This is more common when the child looks similar to the parents • This influence is even grater if the parent supports the child's actions with positive reinforcement
