Now, What Do I Do? 8 Tricky Holiday Situations


Dealing with Rowdy Kids


Q: What am I supposed to do with rambunctious young nephews who jump on the furniture when they visit—especially if their mother (my sister) doesn't want me to discipline them?

A: "Avoid the situation by channeling all that kid energy into activities: simple arts and crafts projects, board games, baking cookies together. If all else fails, put their favorite holiday movie into the DVD player, pop some popcorn, and declare some official Relax Time."
— Lisa Caputo, chairman and CEO, Citi's Women & Co
