Boy with aggressive behavior

How Do We Help Our Son With His Aggressive Behavior?

My 19-Year-Old Daughter Struggles With Hygiene. Is It My Fault?

I am concerned about my 19-year-old daughter, who lives with me, because she does not take proper care of her hygiene. I don't know if she is just being lazy or if there is some other underlying issue. I don't know if I'm partly to blame because it's something I've always done for her and just expected her to start doing it on her own as she got older. I'm at a loss and could use some much-needed advice.
