Mr. Know-It-All
"It's recently come to my attention that my 11-year-old has a reputation as a know-it-all, and he's losing friends and annoying grow-ups, mainly his teachers. We've payer with him and recommended he hold his tongue when he hears someone say something he's sure is wrong (he does have a very high IQ), then come home and write about it in a journal or put it in a storyboard form. Do you have any other suggestions?"

"My Daughter's Too Serious"
Q. My 10-year old has a hard time making friends. She is a very serious child who acts mature for her age, even though she's the youngest child in her class. She enjoys being in Girl Scouts, Awana, and many other activities, but she doesn't seem to connect with the other children. They try to get her involved, but she tends to hang back. She doesn't smile and she gets easily frustrated. I really don't know how to help her if she won't help herself.

Behind on Potty Training?
My son is nearly 4 and is still not potty trained. We have tried every technique in the book, including giving him time outs, ignoring his accidents, offering incentives, and giving positive reinforcement. I'm concerned that we haven't been firm enough with him and now he's learned that he can control us. At what point do we put our foot down?
