	Description:		Even as great of a parent as you are, you know that there are things you could improve but what are the top 4, and how do you correct them? Listen to Dr. Leman’s wisdom and advice to find out the most common! LISTEN HERE What are the 4 biggest mistakes parents make? Why? You will hear me talk about these principles a lot because they are a root of problem parenting. Let’s look at them: 1. Controlling Control is spawned out of insecurity. Rather than Control, or take the authoritarian route, use firm but gentle guidance to train up your child. 2. Criticism This shuts down the natural inclination to please a parent, because it cannot be done. Kids give up. It robs them of self-worth. 3. Permissive This is opposite of controlling. This parent wants their kids happy at every turn. This builds low self esteem. 4. Inconsistency This is a daily battle for any parent and creates confusion especially in young children. Use firmness in your guidelines. To hear more description of these, listen to today’s podcast.
