• boredom {why kids need mental white space}
• being awkward {how and why to let kids be uncool}
• imagination {play, reading, using technology well}
• balance {how much sports is too much?}
• grit {on first jobs + failure}
• manners, kindness, talking to adults well + other lost arts
• family {your kids need a tribe and they need it to be you}
• innocence {on sex + porn-proofing your home}
• faith {grace for kids and parents who mess up}
