- Teaching respect, kindness, and standing up for others
- Whether there’s such a thing as “good” or “bad” behavior
- What to do when boys’ behavior becomes more destructive as they grow
- How to help kids recognize areas for growth without shame
- What to do when a high-energy child is sensitive to feedback
