Dr. Crenshaw,

I don’t have kids of my own, but due to the constant increase in Autism- I believe it’s one out of every 150 children are born with Autism- I am nervous about having children in the future.

Are Autistic children more prone to violence or antisocial behavior? Do they develop personality disorders or mood disorders more frequently than other kids do?

Hi Gabe,

I have a niece who have a beautiful baby girl. She is drinking and using drugs. What can we do to ensure the safety of the baby.

Hey Dr Gabe

Just wanted to share this story with you regarding the question of kids with cell phones. My 15yr old son has had his cell phone taken away because he cannot seem to successfully balance school work and the rules set for the phone. I found a phone in his room that he had hidden. When I confronted him about it he said a friend had given it to him. I politely took it in the garage, busted it up into small pieces, and gave it back to him in a ziploc bag! I told him I didn’t care whose it was and that he would get the same result everytime I found one in my house. I just broke up another one with a hammer about 2 weeks ago. I guess he’ll get the picture eventually. Until then, I’m having fun seeing how many pieces I can get out of each phone! Poor grades + Disobedience - Trust = NO CELL PHONE FOR MY KIDS ON THEIR DIME OR MINE!

Hey, Dr. Gabe
Just got into you, I need some help with these kids. My daughter got all “A’s” and “B’s” so she asked me if she could get a tatoo. I said yes—Am I a bad parent (She’s a psychology major! Okay, Dr. Gaby, I mean Dr. Gabe). Well, now she wants a tongue ring. Where am I supposed to draw the line.

Help with this one, Dr.!!!

Hey doctor Crenshaw!
No puedo creer que estas en television! Y espero que te recuerdas a mi familia!
No se las palabras. Pero, yo pienso que tu Dr. Crenshaw eres una buen Terapista que unos anos me ayudastes con mis hijos. Yo realmente agradesco el primer dia que fui a verte a tu officinal Y me dijistes que mis hijos deben llavar su propria ropa. Mis hijos an cambia do sus actitud, y eso me aydo como una madre soltera. Y por esta razon mis hijos son mas major por que tu me ayudastes, Doctor Crenshaw!

Dr. Gabe,
How do I nurture creativity and independence in my toddler, so that he will grow up thinking for himself and believing in himself?

By the way, Dr. Phil doesn’t hold a candle to you, man!

Dr. Gabe. In a marriage, is it normal for a man to get tired of being with the same woman. I believe that marriage is a life-long commitment but as time passes, can one lose desire. Even if your partner is a great person, psychologically can the mind mature past the love you had for one person and grow different interest?

We enrolled our 4year old daughter in a christian Pre-K program that has somewhat strict behavior requirements; high educational standards. My daughter has learned so much and enjoys several parts. But I am not faced with behavior issues: 1) She loves to hug her friends 2) she loves to talk as she is a happy kid and playful 3) She doesn’t always do things on the 1st time.

Recently she went from getting 3-4 E conduct ratings(excellents per week to Satisfactary, Unacceptable, Needs Improvements this entire month. Have we been to hard on her and she is shutting down? She went one week without her normal happy attitude and began hitting other kids and disobeyed her teach and us. Even with a spanking, she would act like it never happened and do the same thing the next day. She has received no reward for 1 month because she is only rewarded for good grades.

The teacher/headmaster called because they have said when they ask my daughter, she knows what she has done wrong. But she is showing no remorse and continues to do it the next day. What has happened? How can I balance my happy baby and get her not to touch anyone; talk only when she is suppose to and obey on the first request??? I am struggling as I don’t want to lose the happy baby that I have. The teacher has said that she isn’t disburbing the class but touching/hitting will result in automatic “Unsatisfactary” conduct grade. I think I have a tough cookie and I can’t find the button that motivates her and makes her listen like I used to have? What have we done?

I’m a fan of Dr.Gabe because he’s a great man and i’ve met him in person very down to earth… and I’ve discussed family issues with him and he made me have a different outlook on life and he let me know things aren’t as “badd” as it may seem . He’s very handsome in person and has great teeth lol ….I cant wait to see and hear more from him and his outlook on what’s goin’ on in the world and with our young adults…
