My step-son’s education.
(Lack of) financial management.
Regarding my step-son’s education, I will PTO by providing the best opportunities for him. These come from – offering him a chance to become a citizen in whatever way we can, as soon as we can; helping him in his current studies to achieve the best he can; supporting his choices no matter what – without showing disappointment; helping his mother to join me in this attitude.
Regarding my weight problem I will PTO by reminding myself constantly, everywhere that one of the key strategies is to recognise the dozens of small opportunities every day – have a small coffee, not large; walk up the stairs rather than the escalator AND I will step up my efforts to recruit a couple of colleagues who have shown some interest in doing some exercise together.
