Ann Landers responses on weight, parenting, grief and independence
A reader seeks guidance on weight and teen eating linked to foreign famine imagery, and Ann Landers suggests reverse psychology and medical checkups. Another letter asks how a mother should handle a neighborly temper and school-age fights, answered by advising patience and waiting for the father to intervene. A final note requests help for a bereaved niece living with relatives, with guidance to encourage paying room and board and independence plus an invitation to request Ann Landers’ teen smoking booklet.
