parenting technique

What is the most unique and effective parenting technique you've used or seen used?

My older sister has three kids. When my daughter was born, I never wanted to put her down, but I was afraid I'd spoil her. My sister said :

“Just remember, you spoil kids by giving them too much stuff, but you can't spoil them with attention. You can never spoil them by giving them too much affection”.

Best advice anyone ever gave me: Love before stuff.

That's nearly 30 years ago.

Her kids turned out well. Mine have, too. Partly that's just good luck and good circumstances, but partly it was, I think, her excellent technique.
