You don't actually need to try to influence, because just by default as the parent you will influence because of the examples that you've set, because of the models that you've made available around relationship and because of the sort of person that you've helped your child to develop into. You should rest assured that all of those ingredients will reflect the kind of relationship choices your child makes as they go through life.
