Dr. Kevin Leman, author of Making Children Mind Without Losing Yours, describes common mistakes of parenting — parents not displaying healthy authority with their kids, not allowing kids to fail, trying to keep kids happy, and overreacting to misbehavior.

Dr. Leman recommends “reality discipline” — where reallife consequences teach children rather than parents lecturing, reminding, or rescuing them. Dr. Leman also differentiated between praise and encouragement, and discipline and punishment for children.
