WATCH ABOVE: Many parents don't differentiate between the words punishment and discipline when it comes to raising their children.

Parents have never had more information at their fingertips about how to raise children. There are countless books on everything from baby sleep schedules, to time-outs and discipline.

Known for bestsellers like Kids are worth it! Giving your child the gift of inner discipline, veteran author Barbara Coloroso has been writing about the subject for close to four decades.

“What’s exciting for me is I’m on the third generation now,” Coloroso said. “Parents are coming with their little ones in their arms saying, ‘My grandmother gave me this book.'”
