English term or phrase: The "3 Fs" of Positive Parenting
According to the article the "3 Fs" are Firm, Fair, and Friendly, so I need to come up with some kind of comparable mnemonic in Spanish. Any suggestions for something appropriate?

Grading comment
the supporting gloss: Autoritario, Adecuado, y Amable has the advantage of being closest to the original text. Which given that this will be used in an interpreted presentation to a mixed Spanish and English speaking audience allows the Spanish speakers to track well with the English speaking presenter.

Asker: I like the ABC idea, but the order needs to remain the same as in the original as this will be used in an interpreted presentation for both English and Spanish speakers.

Notes to answerer
Asker: This is good in that it maintains the order of the original. I'd go with it were it not for the fact that the document will be maintained by non-Spanish speakers, so the closer I can track the original's structure, the less problems for them. It's for an early-childhood education program with NO money, so I try to be as helpful and non-confusing as possible.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Is there a noun form of adecuado that could be used here? I could see Autoridad, Adecu...., and Amistad, for example.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  ScriptArch: Buen punto - pero cuidado con lo de "Autoritario", tal vez quede más neutro "Autoridad".
24 mins
agree  Yoelle Carter Martinez: Yo cambiaría autoritario por asertivo o com ya han dicho, autoridad. Autoritatio tiene una connotación bastante negativa.
11 hrs
disagree  Maria Pelletta: me parece que es un poco "tirado de los pelos" tratar de encontrar tres palabras que empiecen aon la misma letra. Coincido con que autoritario es extremo, pero asertivo no es traduccion de nunguna de las tres palabras tampoco. Voto por el ABC
1 day17 hrs
disagree  moken: El término "adecuacia" no existe. En todo caso, se podría intentar con "adecuación".
