Authentication for each Request in each Controller in laravel 5.1

Base Controller

class MyBaseController extends Controller {

    public function __construct()
    {
       if (Auth::check()) {
            // The user is logged in...
       }
       else {
            //Redirect to login page
       }
    }   

}

Controller that will have database calling functions and will be available for logged in users only

class ChildController extends MyBaseController {

    public function __construct() 
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }   
}

What do I need ?

I want to check each request if that is made by an authenticated user ?

Question:

Is my approach correct or is this best practice to check if the call to this controller is made by authenticated user ?

You were almost there, you need to use this concept of middleware. There is a built in middleware for Session based authentification simply called "auth".

//in your controller :
public function __construct() {
   $this->middleware('auth');
}

You can learn more about middlewares and controllers in the docs

The best would be to use Middlewares.

You can simply define a route group like this and add a middleware.

Route::group([
    'middleware' => 'auth',
], function() {

    // Your routes here...

});
