Communication and Power

The week before Thanksgiving we talked a lot about communication and power. One of the things we talked about when it came to communication is how we communicate. 14% is through verbal words, 35% was though tone, and 51% is through nonverbal. We as humans are very aware at not just what others say but how they say it. Thats why when we were younger and we would get an "attitude" with our parents they would comment on our tone. Then there's power. We talked about the three types of power; Respect, Authority, and Ability to influence. Its easy to hold power when people respect you. When you have authority I guess there is a form of fear that keeps you with power. Lastly theres the ability to influence, basically giving people a reason to keep you in power. As parents, what kind of power do you use?
