ONLINE PARENTING COACH

Mark, Our 16-year-old daughter constantly tells her younger siblings what to do and how to do it and that the way they do things isn't good enough. It creates daily friction in the family. What can we do to make it stop? And do I understand you to say that parents shouldn't pay a lot of attention to children when they are fighting? ``````````````````````` Hi T., Re: And do I understand you to say that parents shouldn't pay a lot of attention to children when they are fighting?
