  1. I think that he might suggest to Simon to go to live with his family in London. He may also suggest him to ask to his boss the opportunity to start and finish work earlyer and catch the train at 5:30 to be at home at 7:15. If his family delay the dinner to 6:00 to 7:15 p.m., they can eat together. At the last he could prompt him to rent a loft in London and come back home for the week to spend his free time with his family.

      8. What doesn’t he have dinner with his family? Because his family take the dinner at the six o’clock p.m. he is on the train in there time. (or in the same time)
      9. What time does he get home? He arrives at home at the 7:45 p.m.
      10. What does he do after dinner? He watch TV.

      I tried the typical English lifestyle, and for the English people the free time it’s most important. I suggest Simon to find a new work near his home.
      Because, for the children is recommended go to bed when the sun go down.
      It’s necessary change the lifestyle of the father, not the children’s habits.

  3. First of all, he should no take more than two coffee a day so he can fall asleep earlier at night and wake up in the morning more relaxed. In addition to that he should follow a correct diet without skipping any meals, with a big breakfast and having lunch sitted at pub rather than office.

  4. I think that the Professor Parker will suggest to Simon to be more relaxed.
    Simon might change his habits and diet. A right solution might be a new flat in London to stay with his family or looking for a new job.
    As soon as he follows this reccomandation he will start feel good and his family will be happy.
