What happens when the child in the family becomes a danger to others or starts developing irrational fears?

Benedict, 15, has trouble managing his anger. During one of his anger fits at home, he points a knife at his father. His anger management issue comes to fore when his school expels him for throwing a table at his teacher and punching her in the face. His father, Teddy, decides to engage a counsellor to help Ben control his anger.

Keeri, 16, develops an irrational fear of holes and stickers. She starts to shower in the dark to avoid looking at the drain hole. Her family can no longer eat out at hawker centres because of her fear stickers on the table. Fearing the stickers on her sister’s belongings, Keeri also moves out of their shared bedroom, to camp out in the living room. Her sister, Yu Kee, tries to look for a professional therapist to help Keeri conquer her fears, but she decides to quit midway through.
