I dont understand why parents will come on the Dr. Phil show seeking advice, and stubbornly sit there, listen to Dr. Phil and completely ignore what he is saying to them. Why do they bother asking him for advice if they dont heed what he has to say? Do they just want to be on television? The two families that discussed their children, steadfastedly stuck to their guns and refused to change their ways of dealing with the child. Simpson gave the parents advice on how to deal with their 9 year old and the father of the child sat there and said I am still going to tell her what she is doing wrong because she wants to hear it....No, she doesnt want to hear it, she needs encouragment and a pat on the head at the time. Any decent psychologist will tell them that.
The other mother of the child in the pagent should be horsewhipped. FIVE YEARS OLD? What is she looking for another Jon Benet? That child is running the show, the mother is not a disciplinarian, but in my opinion is seeking accolades for herself and not for her daughter. She is an ignorant woman, and her daughter is going to pay the price for it. I think the mother should take a good, hard and long look at herself in the mirror.
