Poor little girls living with that mother.,.
seems like a lot of sitting around eating and watching screens " un schooling"
The pageant mom is the absolute worst here. The whole pageant world is gross and teaches children nothing
BALANCE is the key… these extremes always blow up in parents faces…🤷🏻♀️
This is so effing weird
What's a 1-2-year-old going to do with a dollar???
Whatever happened to letting kids, be kids!?
The first mother and father profiled scare the hell out of me! I am flashing back on the Menendez Brothers. Sorry 🤷♀️
3 hours a day, 3 times a week at 6?! And not even with other children?!
When we parents project our own stuff on our kids we get a rude awakening.
The kids are getting educated. She asked the wrong question
Kids learn through play and using their imagination
She is so off on the homeschooling
What a good presenter
Oh heck no. The beauty pageant parenting. No. No. No.
Their parents mostly aren't well educated , they don't have job with massive salary so instead focus how to make more money or get qualification they are pushing to the limits their children. They are like parasites to them. Where are social care workers?
Both parents are in denial. There is no balance
I,m 62 . I remember weeding the garden for a hour before school . And 2 hours after school . Well ,,, looking back , I believe that every kid should learn this life experience . .
these kids will rebel for sure!!!!! This is abuse
I prefer the unschooling family thats for sure those kids will do better as they are truly loved
I pray all the Carneys dreams come true. The Dad ,the Mom, and the son are all so inspiring. You can tell they want their son to have a good fulfilling life. I pray they get it too.
It's okay to want your child to do good at school but come on parents they are only six years old, let them be young and enjoy their childhood, because they grow up way too fast.
I'm glad there's no beauty pageant for children in my country. It's scary. My heart breaks seeing these girls, especially since it sounds like their mother knows she's doing it for HER satisfaction.
What stops her from pushing herself now & becoming an astrophysicist NOW?
Then they are leading by example
Just another form of child abuse.
I see a bunch of future serial killers in this show. These kids will blame their parents when they grow up to be crazy people. Some of these kids will have an ulcer and anxiety. You can tell the parents that are older parents compared to the younger parents. I feel bad for all of these children.
Extrene is just that, extreme…parents living through their child pressure wise – the little boy doing multiplication was mentally tired – children need time to rest and play too. Unschooling is great, as long as the parents don't get stressed or angry – my child did that for a year or two and did really well when back at school and well ahead of other boys for reading ….
Not really sure about the unschooling. Don't they need a formal education to actually go to college or university? Not that they have to get a bachelor's or something but, even for other jobs, most require a high school education.
Dear Lisa, I unschooled my children for 17 years. They both went to college.
