5.  Making Children Mind Without Losing Yours by Dr. Kevin Leman

5.  Making Children Mind Without Losing Yours by Dr. Kevin Leman

As a parent, I crave practical steps when it comes to disciplining my kids and bringing out the best in them.  But, there are some gray areas when it comes to parenting, and each child can be so different.  Sometimes, it’s hard to know what approach we should take.

In the early years of parenting my kiddos, I read several books that had some wonderful philosophies on parenting and what the end goal should be, but I was often disappointed by the lack of practical steps a parent should take in implementing these philosophies.  So, one day, I was perusing the bookstore for a new parenting book, and Making Children Mind Without Losing Yours caught my eye.  I was familiar with Dr. Kevin Leman from a study we had completed at church, so I decided to give this new book a try.

As I started to read it that night, I was so pleasantly surprised by the simple and practical steps that Leman offers parents in this book.  It’s chock full of them.  Making your Children Mind Without Losing Yours made me feel equipped as a parent, and that helped me to be less frustrated with my kids when I needed to discipline them.  It also helped my husband and I to get on the same page with our parenting, so we became more consistent with our expectations and discipline.  This book is one that I open up again and again.  I highly recommend it for ALL parents–especially those who are just starting to discipline their little ones at home.
