why did whoever uploaded this video speed up the voices? (technically possible) Dr. Phil never speaks that fast something dishonest going on here episodes usually run about 45 minutes this episode clocks in at about 35 minutes

home schooling is very valid this day in age, and i completely understand why parents want to, but this woman just has no clue what she's doing. my freshman year was my first year being home schooled, and i finished with a 3.94 GPA. for some kids, such as myself, home schooling is better. i know i won't have any issues attending college, i'm easily sociable despite my anxiety disorder, and opting to be home schooled was the best choice i've made for myself thus far.

I have 4 children all now adults in their 30s. I understand that one of the roles of the parent is to protect and to warn and train their children of dangers to their safety. I was the proverbial "mother hen", however, I realized that just as important to protecting them as much as I could, just as important is preparing them for the time when they leave the nest and have to live responsibly on their own. You have to strike a balance, and it's also based on age-appropriateness. As a small child, you want to protect your children from the stove and oven, but not to the point they're afraid to ever prepare a meal or cook because they're too afraid of getting burned. Socialization is an integral part of maturation and learning how to adapt, get along and having the skills to live as an adult on their own. Part of teaching and instilling the skills and confidence is going through the process of having social experiences outside of their safe nest at home and building the confidence and self assurance that they are capable of going through even the negative experiences while they have the safety net of a home and loving parents that use that as a teaching tool. The other option is either keeping your little chicks so dependent, they're in their 40s and still live at home. In the normal course of life, children outlive their parents, so logically if you raise dependent children well past the age of majority, how will they be able to cope when their parents die? I had children who moved out and moved back home, but the longest I allowed one of my children to live with me was early 20's. It was during the recession, and after having a houseful of 4, selfishly I enjoyed the company. I did encourage and let them know this was a temporary situation at best and that at any time I could and would say this is over and you'll have to move out. I tried my best to keep the lines of communication open, so that they would feel free to talk to me not just about how good things are but with problems and challenges. I can't say I always knew exactly what to do, what I DID do was to be with them through it and know I always had their back. I am so grateful they all 4 have their own lives and are doing extremely well. I am so proud of them, and while we all went through a lot, I could never take all the credit. We were all blessed, as I was widowed at 34, so I raised them as a single parent, working fulltime and earning 2 degrees through graduate school. It was a huge sacrifice, but I'm so proud of how we all have come through it. I think we rob our children of experiencing and learning to cope with life if we try to shelter them to such a degree that we cripple them when the time comes where they have to go out into the world and make their own path in life.

In the 60s there was a group pf people who raised their kids kind of like this, no structure, kids could do whatever they liked and no punishment or consequences. The movement was called 'Laissez Fair' [if someone wants to look it up] I read up on what happened to the kids 20 years later and some [of a small group] had committed suicide, the others suffered from depression and generally felt that it was a great disaster that had ruined their lives. If kids were so wise that they can decide what they want to do and learn, they would be in parliament running the country, driving cars and live by themselves. There is a reason you don't let empty brains make decisions. Kid's brains need filling by adults to prepare them for what awaits them, which they have no idea about.
