Making Children Mind Without Losing Yours

Making Children Mind Without Losing Yours by Dr. Kevin Leman. Raising a child these days can be daunting. But if anyone understands why children behave as they do, it's Dr. Kevin Leman. This internationally known psychologist, author, and father of five shows how to bring out the best in your kids—without letting them get the best of you!

In his humorous, direct style, Dr. Leman shows how—and why—his reality discipline works. He also explains how to:

• Foil finicky eaters, turn off temper tantrums, and minimize sibling rivalries
• Get children to be responsible and successful
• Get kids to do what you want them to do
• Understand why children misbehave and what to do about it
• Set suitable allowances, curfews, and privileges
• Use authority and decisiveness to show your kids you care
