Incentives Or Bribes (Part II)
Dear Rabbi Horowitz:
We would appreciate your thoughts regarding offering our children incentives, financial or otherwise, for doing well in school this year.

Part 15 – Signs of a Controlling Personality
Here are some of the ways to know whether you are in a controlling relationship:
Acting Respectfully Always Pays Off
Dear Dr. Yael:
Although I agree with your advice to A Passive Reader (Showing Respect Gets Results, 4-20) about how to deal with difficult people, I emphatically disagree with your decision to take the blame for the impatient frum guy who was honking his horn. If you saw him run someone over with his car, would you take the blame for that too? If you had gotten a ticket, would you have paid it? If the officer had arrested you, would you have gone to jail? I am not a rabbi, but I would be surprised if not informing means taking the blame as well.
Let Kids Be Kids
Dear Dr. Yael:
I now see why so many children are insecure.
I have been a day-care provider for many years. When parents initially consider day care they want a small group so their children will not be neglected. But problems arise when their children turn two, and nursery or playgroup becomes an option. All of a sudden a group of 20-25 children is not a problem because it is much cheaper. I refer to two-two and a half year olds, whose parents feel that they need to exclusively be with children their own age.
Dear Dr. Yael
When you tell a shadchan that you want a young man with a plan or an idea of how he will support his family, the conversation is over.
Dear Dr. Yael
While I can give you tips on how to do this, it appears that you already have created a good, loving, and fun life where you give to others and you have close relationships.

What happens if the stressor is not a lion? What happens if the stressor is a really rude boss?
Dear Dr. Yael
All who have gone through this know the look. My mom then told me to lie about the years of my marriage and say two years, so that maybe their faces would not give you that look of “Oy, so sad.”
