Hi,
I am in the middle of session 1 and have done the parent quiz to find out that I am moderately indulgent.
My question is: What to do about grandparents or other family members who wish to indulge your child?
My son treated my Mother badly 3 days ago which really upset her, but she is now talking about paying for him to join scouts, which is something he wishes to do & my mother & I feel would be good for him. But I also feel that he should have to wait till he deserves a second extracurricular activity.
They have not spoken to each other since the incident; therefore there have been no apologies. I was brought up to think that this would be incorrect.

Hi C.,
As you will discover when you get a bit further in the eBook, you child should earn ALL privileges. Thus, it will be important for you to set some boundaries with other family members who may be working in the opposite direction. If possible, inform the others what your program goals are so that everyone can be on the same page.
