Are you feeling overwhelmed as a parent? Do teachers say what a great listener your child is at school ... even though you can't get him/her to listen to you at home? If so, help is on the way.
In this video, therapist and YourTango Expert Shelley Skas offers advice for dealing with kids who behave well at school, but not at home with your family. "The good news is, at least, you know you're kid can listen at school. This is an expected behavior from him there," she says. "Think about what the routines are, the expectations, the peer pressure, how he's expected to conform at school ... " She explains how these expectations can be different at home and what you can do as a parent to change that.
