Raising kids can be hard, especially when you're raising more than one at a time. It's not out of the ordinary that parents look to TV, magazines, and books for some extra support and help.

Some methods are unique and... well... strange.
The show is titled Train Your Baby Like a Dog. Seriously.
While she says puppies and kids need similar "training" methods, not everyone loves this idea.
The Change.org petition has been signed by 25,000 people so far.
They also said that the program promotes, "grooming children to comply with an adult's demands."
Basically, the trainer bribes children with objects they love to get them to comply to their demands and desires.
They believe it makes the children almost feel as though they are being treated as animals over human beings.
Reward systems are good, but commands like a dog can be a bit much.
A spokesperson for the network spoke to HuffPost.
The station said the show is, "...grounded in positive, science-based motivational techniques that are used widely by parenting coaches and animal behavior experts. Throughout filming and broadcast, the welfare of all contributors in the program is of paramount importance and the process is supervised by qualified child psychologists.”
I guess publicity is publicity, right? Only time will tell if this show gets renewed.
