It amazes me how many morons are raising children.
Dr. Phil didn't impart any great new parenting skills, it was all common sense parenting.

He was helping different families deal with different problems. Teaching how to potty train, showing parents videos of their kids while they weren't watching, saving a family in crisis, etc...
It was interesting to me because I don't have kids but my fiancee and I were watching and we talked about our future parenting skills.

I think so many parents today are trying to be their kids friend, instead of a parent they turn a blind eye to the kids behavior.

I was thinking the same thing. It is common sense stuff.

It was nothing more than an hour long infomercial for his new book “Family First.” Stuff like don't let your children divide and conquer the parents, don't undermine you spouse's authority in front of the children, don't fight in front of the children, don't raise your kids to be materialistic spoiled brats, you are your child's parent not their friend, etc....

Asperger's Poster Child
Didn't see it, but I heard the commercial on the radio that claimed the kid has 9 of the 12 markers for serial killers. I found that type of advertising to be despicable. Part of me expected the psychiatrist to say, "Ma'am, since your child is destined to be the next David Berkowitz, we should just kill him now to protect society." (Hey, isn't that the premise of "Minority Report"?)kwillia said:I caught the part where the family is raising a potential serial killer...

Tonio, he told the parents that their son had 9 of the 12 markers when Jeffery Dalmar(sp?) only had 7. He told them that it did not mean he was destined to be a serial killer, it meant he needed immediate intervention to get him back on track. He then proceeded to detail the good qualities about their son and gave them suggestions on how to draw on the good qualities and nip the bad traits in the butt.Tonio said:

Dr. Phil isn't out there for you perfect parents like you... he is there for those who obviously haven't a clue. I, personally, would rather him be there than not be there if it means once clueless parent will wake up and smell the teen spirit.Vince said:

I understand that. My point is, the ad didn't say anything about intervention. The whole thing sounded like this urban myth: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/hoaxes/sister.htmkwillia said:

I was flipping through and saw the kid with the tv-watching problem. He looked catatonic on that couch. 
How stupid is the mom that she didn't get rid of the tv's sooner? That would have been the first thing I'd have done after the grounding him from the TV didn't work.
