A number of years ago, Jane Goodall wrote a book titled “A Reason to Hope,” which was truly inspirational. I was fortunate to be speaking at an event where she spoke as well, and we got to know each other a little.

Dear Kid Whisperer, I am at a loss. I have a 10-year-old son who simply refuses to do what I tell him. I tell him to take out the trash, he refuses. I tell him to sit down for dinner, he refuses. I tell him to wear different clothes, he refuses. I feel like I need to do something, but I don’t know what it is. Answer: You have a big problem. Every family needs to be a functional hierarchy with ...
Q: My child’s father lives 300 miles away from us. He just proposed that our son live with him for two weeks, then me for two weeks. Our son is only 2. I don’t want to seem like “the boss” who is running the show, but this can’t be good for him. What’s good ex-etiquette? A.
