Game Plan for Raising Well-Behaved Children I-II

Dr. Kevin Leman describes common mistakes of parenting: parents not displaying healthy authority with their kids, not allowing kids to fail, trying to keep kids happy, and over-reacting to misbehavior.  He recommends “reality discipline” — where real-life consequences teach children rather than parents lecturing, reminding, or rescuing them.  Dr. Leman also differentiates between praise and encouragement, and discipline and punishment for children.
