Thank you so much anons!

Yes, I meant
>[you can affect children's behaviour] in [the way they behave at home]
>As long as you understand it as "children's behavior at home" being affected then it's fine.

If it was written as
>(You) + (Can affect) + (The way children behave at home)
I would have nothing to ask, but the "in" being there tripped me up and I had to read the text twice with looking up "affect".

>But the text is using very idiomatic academic language.
>I can instantly tell this is from an academic paper.

Exactly. That is an excerpt from an article entitled "The Roots of Personality". The theory outlined there was interesting in itself.
