Newsweek Article Contributions

I was pleased to be featured in several Newsweek articles recently.

In an article based on a problematic father/adult daughter relationship, I was asked to give my views on how to set boundaries with family members.

In this article, I comment on how parents can maintain a close bond with their biological child when they remarry and have stepchildren after a father and adult son had become estranged.

This article explores children and chores. I give my thoughts on the pros and cons and how to motivate children to want to contribute to the family.

A Dad feels less of a bond with his eldest child from an earlier relationship than he does with the children he has had with his current partner. I discuss how sibling differential treatment can impact a family.

A father comes down on his teenage son for his lack of ambition. I discuss what the underlying cause of his lack of motivation may be and how his father can support him in making choices for his future.

In this article I was asked to comment on the effectiveness of punishment when a mum removes her teenager’s door to stop her slamming it.

I talk about privacy issues and what parents can do so they are comfortable with the level of privacy their children request.

After an uncle laughs at his niece’s handmade gift I share my tips on how to repair the relationship.
