    • Yes, he goes online to socialize with friends, watches TRL or plays a video game
    • No, he has too much to do
  1. With regard to recent blowups between you and your child, what can you conclude?
    • Our fights can be about anything and everything some days
    • Our fights strike me as blurry -- there's more underneath, but I can't put my finger on it
