No, he doesn’t “has to" do anything, Annie Zelm and it’s just silly to think he does.
The responses on this thread are… bizarre.
A.J. Kay posts a really interesting article that says, “What I did for years and years made everything worse. I changed my approach and now it’s getting better!”

We’ve all lost our minds.
If we were smarter, we’d be asking her to share more of her secrets.
How I read this now is that she’s getting him to do some parenting stuff for the first time in… I dunno… forever?
Dammit.
We are unworthy readers. I retract my earlier response.
I want more of what AJ Kay has got. I’m going to try things that are more like what she’s doing.
