124: Parenting Q & A with Alyson Schafer

Q1. Should I force my 11 yr old to include their 7 yr old twin siblings in their playdates?

Q2. 7yr old grade 2 (who was a premature December baby) wants to see his report card which indicates he is “progressing with difficulty” in all subjects. Do I show him?

Q3. Should I pay someone to be a friend for my 14yr old son with Asperger’s who has no friends?

Q4. My 7 and 10yr olds make their lunch but still prefer to take the offerings from the fridge in the classroom meant for kids who can’t afford to bring one.
