Support Call 2-5-16

This call covers:

  • I don't have time to read and I still haven't gotten through the TSG book, but I need help now! What can I do for a "quick fix?"
  • Is there such a thing as too much sports? My age 11 son is in multiple sports and it's all he wants to do. How do I help his obsession?

Support Call 8-7-15

This call covers:

  • My family doesn't like deliberate talk and family meetings don't really work. Is it even worth it to do them?
  • My age 12 son has become very rude and disrespectful to me and the rest of the family. Name calling and "poop jokes" are normal for him. How do I help him fix it?
  • We've just started implementing TSG and our 5-year-old son can't accept a "no" answer. He runs away and is rude. What do we do?
  • Where do you go to get a lift and/or encouragement? Do you ever feel depressed? And, what do you think about birth order?
  • My 3-year-old runs away when it's time to go to the calm down spot. What do I do about that?
