PLEASE HELP! NO LINKS PLEASE!

Below are parenting scenarios from the previous videos. Pick one of these and provide at least two thought out and complete solutions for that scenario. Your answer should be at least 4-5 sentences with an explanation of why your solutions are the answer to the problem.

Shawnta and Juan are 20-year-old high school graduates with a 3-year-old daughter, Lia. Juan works on the help desk solving customer IT (information technology) issues for a small company. He has $340 in child support withheld from his wages every month. Shawnta works part time and is attending community college to become a nurse. Shawnta depends on the child support from Juan to pay for child care and other monthly bills. Two months ago Juan got laid off and hasn’t been able to find another job. Without money for child care, Shawnta has been missing some of her classes. Juan has begun to receive past-due notices from the child support office. He wants to pay but doesn’t have the money. He’s stopped spending time with Lia because he’s embarrassed about not having any money. Shawnta is frustrated with Juan because he’s not providing any money and not spending time with Lia. What can Shawnta and Juan do about their situation?

What they can do is take Juan off of child support they can still take their classes but they would have to hold off of their classes until they can find out a way they can work together they can do their classes online so one person will have the child while the other one goes to class or they both can do online classes and have someone watch their child until they are done and then they can work night shifts and that pays good for it
