Or, rather, the actual most important “technical skill to get your kids to behave”, in the long term view is modelling the behavior you want to see.

I think you are correct, I would add that by nature it seems kids model their behavior after their parents somewhat automatically.

I've turned my family around from some pretty bad behavior simply by changing how I act. If they don't change automatically to follow, I may have to point out the change I made, and that I expect them to as well.
