In this podcast, Neil takes issue with National Columnist Amy Dickinson's advice to a mother whose daughter is intentionally screwing up her chores to get her mother to quit assigning them to her. Neil explains how ramping up consequences can unwittingly only support a Control Battle while missing the opportunity for real change.
