Simple Way to Rename Folders/Files on Mac OSX

Most of the time when I do click in the folder/file and move my mouse away to select the folder again. i find it more often then not, i can not get the folder/file to give me the options to edit. Not only that but when I do a slow double tap the folder ends up opening. So this can become very annoying.
