Media Questions

Researching a story on kids who misbehave to get attention? Or a column on what happens when there's a new baby? Looking for a new twist on the issue of sibling rivalry?

Then you'll want to talk to Eileen Kennedy-Moore.

She works 24/7 with these issues, as a psychologist in private practice and as the mother of four children–one in preschool, two in elementary and one in middle school.

Some questions to get you started with Dr. Kennedy-Moore:

• So often parents are advised to ignore misbehaving kids, because the kids are just acting out to get attention. What's your advice on this?
• How much attention do kids really need from their parents?
• What do you do to reduce sibling rivalry in your family?
• What should parents avoid doing when kids compete for attention?
