Game Plan for Raising Well-Behaved Children - Kevin Leman Part 2

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 over-reacting to misbehavior. You can find is book on our store here: bit.ly/2Rwe6bW
Dr. Leman recommends “reality discipline” - where real-life 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.

I wished I had known about you when I was a single parent for 20 yrs and I really needed some back up and sound parenting advice..Also,when I became a stepmother to 5 more children(14 yrs ago)..My husband and I now have 8 grown children, but also had 2 more children together and they are still quite young, 8 & 12..So, we can still definitely utilize all this wise advice.. because we still don't 'know it all' ha ha...Thank you Dr Leman and Focus on the Family👍

FOTF . I would enjoy hearing from Mr.Lemams adult children. To hear how the fruit of his lessons have produced healthy results in his children. It can come accross to parents, like myself, to be a book on theoretical approach to parenting. Thanks gents for all that you do.

Thanks for your feedback, Sean! That would be a really interesting conversation to hear wouldn't it? We'll pass that idea along to our producers and see what happens next. Thanks for watching and for being a part of this community. Have a great day Sean!

Thanks for more practical advice for raising kids. The pull of the world on them has never been stronger. We need all the help we can get on raising moral, ethical, God fearing young adults. Keep this kind of content coming!!

I couldn’t agree more

A lot of stuff Kevin said was so true. Sometimes i get critical about my kids deep down it’s because I am critical about myself. If they threw tantrum I get mad thinking I’m a bad mother. Thanks for the interview.

How do you teach your kids to do a better job cleaning without being the critical eye parent that discourages them because it wasn't clean enough... for example, they did the dishes but they didn't quite clean off all the food. Its important for everyone's health that the dishes are cleaned properly and they need encouragement for doing the work, but also guidance with out seeming critical to do it right. At what ages does the approach to that change?

[@jodiepope0303]

What if you already have a discouraged 12yr old son from a critical eye how can we reverse that

[@parentingbeyondbehaviours6382]

Start by encouraging focus in on their skills like Kevin suggests and know it’s never to late to start
