My son is 7 years and can’t seem to sit still or concentrate on any activity for more than 15 minutues. Could he be hyperactive? What can I do?

I often feel my partner doesn’t want to hear me in important conversations. S/He interrupts me, changes the subject, misunderstands, blanks out, or leaves. What can I do?

I presume it is your husband you are talking about. In this fast pace of technology and communication, the attention span of people in general has reduced. In the family system, it is a bit alarming as people involved have their own pressures and the focus point becomes a challenge. However, there is always a solution to everything. It is...
