 Quote From: katrinakaye I havent seen todays show yet so I dont know what else Dr Phil has done but from what I saw yesterday he wasnt helping them one bit!! He tells Noahs Mom to stop yelling and hitting and then he turns around and says that if he would have been there and seen him slap her, he would have jerked that kid up!! Jerked him up and done WHAT with him!! Everyone keeps saying "MY CHILD WOULD NEVER GET AWAY WITH THAT" so what would they do about it?! All he has done so far is blame the Parents over and over and over and then turned around and said "Its not about blame!" From the previews it looks like the Parents are apologizing to the kids!! What good is it going to do to apologize to them!! That will only give the kid more power!! That will make them think even MORE that they are the 'right' ones!! Sure whatever the Parents are doing isnt working... but what will??!! Thats what they want to know!! They KNOW what they are doing isnt working!! Thats why they are there!!! Lets get past that part and start giving these parents so help...instead of blame!! Noah has some serious mental problems! At this point his Mother cant fix him. He needs professional help. He is too far gone and I dont think its ALL his Mothers fault. He needs counseling and medication!! He needs to be seperated from his Mother and have intense therapy. Otherwise he is never going to get better. Tere is A LOT going on there. ANd I also think his Mother needs to be away from him also until they both have lots of counseling. Tat is a horrible situation. Very sad. So far, Dr.Phil's advise has NOT impressed me one bit!! But I havent seen the whole story yet. I wont make a final judgment until I see the whole series. Someone needs to help Noah NOW...because he is on his way to total destruction!! My heart goes out to all these parents. I agree that Dr. Phil's telling Noah's mother not to resort to physical punishment is at odds with his statement that he'd have jerked that kid up out of his chair. Yeah, and done what? When he berated the parents for asking what they should do, he lost me. YES, they'd been listening, and YES, they got what he said, but theirs was a valid question. What SHOULD they do when their child slaps them or exhibits deep contempt?
I agree, too, that the parents' behavior has greatly contributed to the ghastly conduct of their children, and I agree with the previous poster that they KNOW this and that's why they're there. Surely more than a couple of us feel that Dr. Phil's arrogance occasionally precludes helpfulness on his part.
