Remember, unsolved problems are expectations your child is having difficulty meeting. If you expect your child to take out the trash on Tuesday mornings, and they’re not reliably meeting that expectation, then that’s an unsolved problem. If you expect your child to be in bed by 8:30 pm, and they’re not reliably meeting that expectation, that’s an unsolved problem. If you expect your child to be home by a 12 am curfew, and they’re not reliably meeting that expectation, that’s an unsolved problem.
