pick one and go with it

As I have been re-reading all my books on parenting I'm becoming more confused and less ready to handle the day to day of raising my kids.  There are so many theories out there, some say to ignore the behavior while others say to address it head on. The reality is that parenting is a mix of many styles and theories all thrown together to fit the individual.  What I need to do is pick a style that I think most consistently will work for my kids and go with it knowing that it won't always work.  I need to try it over a period of weeks, maybe months, and see if we have any changes in behaviors.  So that is what I'm going to do.
