Quote From: rjbuckeyeDr. Phil has done several shows now with out of control kids and kids that throw tantrums, and he has given pretty much the same advice to all of the parents. I was wondering if there are any posters out there that have tried his suggestions on their own kids. Has anyone stripped their kids rooms and had success/failure? I know for a lot of parents it is hard to break the habit of yelling. It is hard to stay calm with a tantrum is going on. Anyone have a success story to share, on how Dr. Phil helped them change their parenting style?

Just a quick reply:
I have taken things away from my own if rules weren't complied with ect. It does work the key is consistency. If you say it, do it, mean it. A parent can't be wishy washy, kids need to know they can count on you as the adult to know the rules and to tell them. Kids do like boundaries even if some parents don't think kids do. If you give a kid a boundary they will know you love and care about them... I have worked for years with children who have been abused, or have some kind of disability, whether it learning, mental, or even physical along with your everyday child. They all like consistency and boundaries. Good luck.
