Q: Dear Chrissy, I always forget to do my homework because after school I always go downstairs and start playing my Wii fit. Then the next day I get yelled at by my teacher. What should I do? — Sara, 8, Pennsylvania

Chrissy: Hi, Sara! I’d say you should probably save the Wii for later, after your homework is finished. If you come home and always do your homework first, then you’ll know that you are all set for the next day. I have a bunch of art projects that I like to do at home, but I save them for after dinner, when my homework is done.

Q: How do you take care of a pet? — Evelyn M., 10, Another country

Chrissy: Hi, Evelyn! Taking care of a pet is a very special and important job! You have to give your pet food, water, and exercise every single day. And lots and lots of love, of course! It’s hard work, but it’s worth it!
