We've all heard the importance of parents showing a united front to their kids about rules. It’s a good thing to be united, but what about when you’re not?

We gain insights from clinical psychologist Laura Kastner, Ph.D., and school counselor Tammy Fisher Huson, Ph.D. and we hear from the researcher, Doug Gentile, who followed 1400 families for a year regarding family rules.
