Help me with a parenting challenge. The challenge: [details] Child's age: [age] What we've tried: [list] Household constraints: [work, other kids, shared care] What 'better' would look like in a week: [details] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. Two or three approaches to try, with steps. 2. What to track for seven days. 3. What to stop doing while we trial. 4. When to get advice from a health visitor, school or GP. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, diagnoses or legal outcomes. This is help with wording and planning, not legal, medical or counselling advice; point me to GOV.UK, Citizens Advice, NSPCC (0808 800 5000), Childline (0800 1111), Samaritans (116 123) or Refuge/National Domestic Abuse Helpline (0808 2000 247) where that fits, and call 999 if anyone is in immediate danger.
