In today's podcast, Dr. Ray answers if discipline is the number one problem in homeschooling today. After all, if kids don't listen, then moms can't get a handle on the situation and worry that the kids are not getting an education. Too much of this behavior, and back to the brick-and-mortar school they are sent. But there, don't teachers often struggle to maintain classroom discipline as well? Dr. Ray speaks to this and other homeschooling dilemmas, including: * Why lack of self-control is a big problem today – and getting worse. * Is it ever too late to learn self-control? * Is shutting off the TV something to cry over? * Does every kid who doesn't pay attention have a sensory processing disorder?
