I believe if parents would pray and seek God they would not have so many problems. There is no way in the world would my kids every use profanity and never ever raise their hands at me. Parents want to be their childrens best friend with no firm hand. Spanking was done in my house and I grew up getting spankings and we all turned out very good. We were taught the word of God and respected our elders. I have no problem with Dr. Phil but instead of going on national TV talking about your problems seek God and let him guide you.
