Justin is answering two listener questions in this episode.

Christina from the United States is wondering how she can get a less than cooperative teenager to put away the screens and get to bed, even though she has already compromised on them staying up later than she would like.

Kate is wondering why her five year old's behaviour is so different between school and home.  How can a 'model student' melt down over simple requests like being asked to take her plate to the kitchen after dinner?
