As a father of three, I know how challenging it can be to discipline a child. Skirmishes with a youngster who talks back or throws a tantrum in the middle of a crowded supermarket can leave otherwise confident parents feeling frustrated and desperate, grasping for the right words or tactics to get their child in line.

Lawrence Balter, Ph.D., is a professor of applied psychology at New York University and the author of several books on parenting.
