Description

This Week's Episode:
We are reminding ourselves how to interact with our kids when they are being surly--no matter what age.

• Be emotionally engaged, but appropriately distanced.
• Don't expect our kids to be adults.
• Use humor (wisely).
• Listen with true curiosity.
• Communicate clearly.
• Catch your kids doing "good" things, and provide descriptive, specific praise.

The Stat of the Week is inspired by our sadness about Bill & Melinda Gates' divorce announcement and is all about divorce statistics.
