Alexander, 15, and Hannah, 13, are your children. Normally, they are great: they behave well, are well-behaved,... But for a few weeks now, Alexander has been in his rebellious phase. He does the opposite of everything that is asked of him and it amuses him. He is part of the football team at his high school so he still has to be careful about his behavior at school if he doesn't want to end up kicked off his team.

With your husband James, you can't calm him down and make him understand the impact of his actions and his attitude. Alex can make harsh remarks especially when they are hurtful and he doesn't apologize. With James, you are fed up but you can't find a solution that works. Punishments don't stop Alex and his attitude.

It's Friday afternoon and you are both summoned to the office of the principal of Alex's high school because he got into a fight. James is driving and he's not in the mood to deal with Alex's behavior, like you.
