Explain why Georgia and Claire had begun acting out since Kelly's illness and why Kelly wanted to change this.

Kelly did an art project with her daughters because she knew she hadn't been giving them enough attention. With her own problems and George's cancer, Kelly was losing patience with her daughters. She had a battle with Georgia who refused to get dressed for a play date they had planned. Claire was getting in the habit of hitting her sister and being sent to her room quite often. But Kelly patched everything up. She wanted her daughters to remember their mother as nice and fun, not as a shrew.
