      Dear Kid Whisperer, My son is a high school basketball player who often forgets his basketball shoes and his practice clothes at home.

      The Kid Whisperer: Parents: What do you think you’re doing?

        To effectively write this column and do my real job (going around the country teaching adults strategies and procedures for working with kids), I keep my powers of professional perception sharp by often visiting a Variable Stressor Family Interaction Lab (VSFIL), where I can see parents interacting with their children under varying levels of duress.

          Dear Kid Whisperer, I am the father of two daughters. Our first is 7, and our second is 3. They are very different. My wife and I thought we were master parents until we had the second one. The first kid just did everything we told her to do and was very agreeable about it. The 3-year-old acts like she is being abused whenever we tell her to do something. She absolutely refuses.

          The Kid Whisperer: Behavior management must move out of the Dark Ages

            The failure of colleges of education to teach behavior management is creating PK-12 schools that, through no fault of their own, are in chaos.
