Does this describe you? Summer is coming – are you dreading it? Are your kids complaining all the time? Are you conflicted about being too strict or too loving? Is it easier just to give in rather than get your kids to do what you want? We’ve brought in family counselor Jim Mhoon to help us understand what is going on here!
