When the relationship with your teen is in tatters, it’s up to you to restore it. Lectures won’t do it. Gifts won’t do it. Harsher punishments won’t do it either. Consider guerilla love.

With guerilla love, we sneak up on our kid not to slay, but to deliver a small and quick act of affection.

Assuming a clean diaper and the baby is still in distress, the parent tries to feed the child, wondering if hungry. However, in this case the child continues to wah. Not sure what to do next, the parent lifts the child in the air and goes, “Cootchi coo.” With that, the child settles.

So many parents seem befuddled, not knowing what to do when their child is hooked on video games. They spend considerable time negotiating, coaching, goading, yelling, screaming and threatening.
