  • 2 1/2 year-old son seems to always be getting into trouble, not sure if it’s intentional. Also, for 3 1/2 year-old daughter and him, if they don’t follow instructions, should I be using the “calm down spot” instead of an extra chore?

  • How do I help my 20 year old son to go back to school? Do I push it or just let it be since he is now an adult? What do I do? Can I make him?
