I haven't watched this TLC show. I've only seen Rabbi Shmuley Boteach on Oprah. This is a companion book to his TV series. On the show, families request his help and he visits them and helps them work through the problems in their households. Some of the problems the families face: adultery, grief, excessive arguing, and rebellious kids. Some things I learned:
- Kids like boundaries and structure. All families need some spontaneous fun though.
- The home should be a refuge from the world, a place where family members can let down their defenses and find some rest and peace.
- Kids want attention and if all they can get is negative attention, that's what they'll settle for.
- Although Rabbi Shmuley was usually called in because of trouble with the kids, the deeper problem was usually with the quality of the parents' marriage.
- Kids require lots of time, love, attention, and leadership! If they don't find it at home, they'll look for it outside of the home.
I'm interested in watching the show now to see what these families look like. I'll file all this information away for my future with or without kids.
