A father has a 13 year old son that lives with him. The son has been getting in a lot of trouble for his attitude and disrespectful behaviour in school. He is in counseling and the talk is he might even have to go on meds. The father is all ready gone twice a week in the evenings on school nights, the son spends 1/2 of those evenings with his mother, but then is home without his dad being there for at least an hour or so after he gets home at 8:00 from his mothers. The father is considering another activity which would take him out of the house at least one more day during the week and occassionally on week-ends. Is this a good idea to leave the son alone so much? What would you tell him about the importance of spending more time with his son? What else comes to mind when you think of this scenerio?
