Your child comes home late after their curfew time and it is not the first time. What do you do? How do you handle that situation. Parents want to find a way to stop that behavior. Punishments are the only alternative, right? It’s crazy to think otherwise because we have to teach our kids right from wrong. Right? Gina and Don discuss the situation and talk about alternatives to punishments. How you can do it differently.
