Support Call 1-31-2014

Friday’s call was short but sweet. We had some really good questions:

  • My daughter lies about so many things, and she seems to only care about being caught. The mess in her room is often up to our knees – she has hoarder tendencies – and I don’t know how to help her over that.
  • My oldest son is 17 and a senior in high school this year. My husband and I are concerned about his lack of gratitude and appreciation for things we do for him.
  • We struggle with dinner time rules and etiquette. Any thoughts?
  • When someone is out of control, and we’ve done the Rule of Three, is it okay to let them read a book?
