After baking some of [Dr. Phil's favorite healthy snack bars](/food/recipes/robin-mcgraws-bars/) and sharing stories from the family photo album, Robin McGraw takes a few parenting questions from Rachael's audience. **"I have four boys -- triplets who are 16, and an 11-year-old. You've maintained your femininity so beautifully. Do you find that hard to do, or is that a side you really wanted to show your boys?"** **Robin** says, "It's really important to me and it's something I wanted to do. I have to tell you I grew up with three older sisters, so from the time I was very, very young, they were always showing me hair, makeup, clothes. I was surrounded by girls growing up (I had one twin brother). There were five women in the house, so it was just something natural for me. But then when I gave birth to the boys, I thought, I'm going to step it up a bit and really emphasize how to respect a woman and what to expect from a woman and how to treat a woman. I have to admit I did step it up a bit just because I had the boys." **"I have two teenage daughters. Could you give me any advice on how I can continue protecting my girls without smothering them, as they would put it, stalking them."** "As far as my experience," Robins answers, "you just have to trust yourself that you've done the best job that you can to protect them and teach them right from wrong. And then I think you do have to trust them, and prove to them that you trust them, and let them venture out -- let them experience things without you and not always be there because they need to get a sense of self-worth and value about themselves so they can go out on their own.
