From rigorous exercise as a form of discipline to lavish rewards for good grades, Dr. Phil's guests say they've unlocked the secret to raising happy children. But are their methods too extreme? Lana buys her teens expensive gifts -- $1,000 cooking classes in Italy, million-dollar parties and even penthouse mansions -- as bonuses for doing well in school. She says the ritzy rewards motivate her kids to excel in the classroom, but her sister, Natalya, thinks she’s spoiling them. Find out what Dr. Phil thinks about this heated family debate. Then, Sarge and Joy raise their kids under a military-style regimen that bans most television shows, contact with friends, Harry Potter books and even requires the children to do push-ups if they lose a board game. Joy’s half-sister, Shana, worries the children will become sheltered from such a strict upbringing. Are they too radical, or is there a rationale to their extremes? Weigh in! And, Cheryl made national headlines when she allowed her 5-year-old son, Dyson, to wear princess dresses to school. Dr. Phil sits down with the mom to talk about her recently published children’s book, My Princess Boy, and talks about her decision to accept Dyson, no matter what he wears.

Demise of Guys
Experts say there's a growing trend of young men flunking out of school, avoiding responsibility and struggling socially. Just how many of today's boys are becoming unproductive adults, and is there a way to stop this cycle? Dr. Phil is joined by Dr. Phillip Zimbardo, an internationally-recognized psychologist, educator, scholar and researcher who co-authored the book, The Demise of Guys, which explores the reasons why many young men are struggling academically and socially in today's society. According to Dr. Zimbardo, one key factor is the role that a father plays in a young man's life. Lori says that may be the case with her 16-year-old son, Levi, whose bad behavior she blames on her ex-husband, Don. She says Don verbally and physically abuses Levi, and is especially hard on him compared to his siblings. Levi says his dad makes him feel unwanted and unloved, and that if his father died tomorrow, no one would cry at his funeral.

Don says he is not abusive and thinks Levi "just doesn't get it," but what do Levi's brothers and sister think? Can Dr. Phil help repair this fractured father-son relationship?

A Father Accused: Who's Telling the Truth?
(Original airdate: November 11, 2011) Horrific allegations are tearing a family apart -- but who is telling the truth? Todd says he was shocked and appalled when his ex-girlfriend's mother, Diana, accused him of molesting his 4-year-old daughter, Taniya, and turns to Dr. Phil to help clear his name. Diana says that while babysitting Taniya, the toddler detailed ways in which Todd inappropriately touched her, and she's convinced he's done the unthinkable.
