Every parent's dream is to have happy well-adjusted kids, but look around today and chances are — you'll get an eyeful of embarrassing scenes with whiny, demanding, tantrum-throwing children ordering the adults around!

How did this happen and could this happen to you? Show host Judith Regan (search) (the mother of two herself) investigates childhood in America and identifies "permissive and absentee" parenting as the root of this nightmare.

Child and family psychiatrists, school principals, teachers, parents and kids themselves (including Judith's son Patrick) reveal why "taking control," setting "loving limits" and learning to "say no" are the skills parents need to create communicative, self-confident and responsible kids.

Experts will tell you and personal stories will show you how dangerous the consequences can be when parents don't take control of their kids' behavior.

"Spoiled Rotten Kids: Taking Control" is another in an important series of investigative documentaries brought to you by the staff of the FOX News Channel. Don't miss it!
