So, in answer to the classic parenting question, “What do I do?” the best answer might just be, “Do something.” Do the best you can — anything, really — to make sure your child knows what you think and that you care. Whether it be a two-month grounding or a two-minute talk, just do something. Then, even though you make mistakes, when your child uses their favorite question to challenge your parental logic, at least you can confidently answer, “Because I love you, that’s why.”
